Flow High Performance on Instagram: "📊 The size principle suggests that low-threshold motor units are recruited first, and higher threshold motor units are only recruited when required. ----- 💪 This has implications
Strength and Conditioning Research - This study reported that after long-term strength training, only the high-threshold motor units increase the size of their action potential amplitudes. This caused a change in the
Chris Beardsley on X: "@DimaM73678258 The onion skin motor control scheme makes it hard for high-threshold motor unit muscle fibers to reach maximum firing rates, which I think is a weakness of
Chris Beardsley on X: "The ability to recruit high-threshold motor units increases more after strength training with heavier loads compared to after strength training with lighter loads. Why is this? https://t.co/Hoer3WwShB" /
Strength and Conditioning Research - Central nervous system (CNS) fatigue is something that we ideally want to avoid during strength training, because it stops us from recruiting the highest threshold motor units,

Strength and Conditioning Research - During normal strength training, the eccentric phase of a lift involves much lower levels of motor unit recruitment than the concentric phase, because each muscle fiber can
