Under what conditions do muscles strengthen?
Ans: They strengthen when trained near current maximal force
generating capacity.
Give some examples of resistance training
Ans: - Bosy weight
- Plyometrics
- Vibrating platform
- Free weights
- Olympic/power lifting.

training?

Ans: - Physical activity
- Genetics
- Nervous system activation
- Environmental factors
- Endocrine influences
- Nutritional status
Central nervous system activation
Ans: Motor unit recruitment
- Increase in number (of MUs recruited)
- Synchronous (firing at the same time)
- Co-activation (antagonist muscles contracting during new activity to aid
in control)
- Firing rate
Are all increase in strength due to muscle mass?
