Neuromuscular Adaptations

Cards (4)

  • What are the neuromuscular adaptations?
    -Motor Units
    -Neural pathway transmission efficiency
    -Nervous Inhibition
  • What are motor units?
    The ability of the motor unit to fire multiple impulses is improved with strength and power training
  • What is the neural pathway transmission efficiency?
    Changes within the cell structure can alter reflexes and chemical and biochemical responses
  • What is nervous inhibition?
    Training is known to decrease nervous inhibition which is a response of the central nervous system. Nervous inhibition prevents the muscle from overworking and potentially ripping itself apart as the muscle undergoes levels of force it is not used to.
