Muscle tension results from the contraction of muscle fibers. In the muscular system:
- Muscle fiber types: fast or slow, length, and thickness.
- Volume of fibers (muscle hypertrophy).
- Types of muscle contraction: concentric, isometric, and isotonic.
In the nervous system:
- Coordination of different muscles for movement: agonists, antagonists, and fixers.
Other factors:
- Muscle temperature, which can increase with a good warm-up.
- Training, form, or motivation.
Sorting: Force = Mass x Acceleration
Maximum Force:
The capacity to create maximum tension during muscle contraction. It is related to muscle mass or load.
Maximum Acceleration:
Minimal or no load, for example, when a weightlifter lifts weights in competition.
Explosive Strength:
The ability to overcome... Continue reading "Understanding Muscle Strength, Speed, and Flexibility" »
