neuromuscular control

Cards (4)

  • nervous stimulation of a motor unit
    nerve impulse initiated in the motor neurone, nerve impulse conducted down axon of the motor neurone to muscle fibres, muscle fibres contract if electrical charge is above threshold, muscle contract in an all or none fashion
  • slow twitch fibres
    stamina and endurance as they create energy aerobically
  • fast oxidative glycolic fibres
    muscular endurance and high intensity as they produce energy anaerobically and are more resistant to fatigue
  • fast glycolic fibres
    explosive and powerful as they produce their energy anaerobically but fatigue much quicker than type 2a
