  2. Muscle fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_fatigue

    Muscle fatigue is not the same as muscle weakness, though weakness is an initial symptom. Despite a normal amount of force being generated at the start of activity, once muscle fatigue has set in and progressively worsens, if the individual persists in the exercise they will eventually lose their hand grip, or become unable to lift or push with ...

  3. Hill's muscle model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill's_muscle_model

    Similarly, the higher the contraction velocity, the lower the tension in the muscle. This hyperbolic form has been found to fit the empirical constant only during isotonic contractions near resting length. [1] The muscle tension decreases as the shortening velocity increases. This feature has been attributed to two main causes.

  4. Physical strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_strength

    There are various ways to measure physical strength of a person or population. Strength capability analysis is usually done in the field of ergonomics where a particular task (e.g., lifting a load, pushing a cart, etc.) and/or a posture is evaluated and compared to the capabilities of the section of the population that the task is intended towards.

  5. Muscle tone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_tone

    In physiology, medicine, and anatomy, muscle tone (residual muscle tension or tonus) is the continuous and passive partial contraction of the muscles, or the muscle's resistance to passive stretch during resting state. [1] [2] It helps to maintain posture and declines during REM sleep. [3]

  6. Supercompensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercompensation

    Muscle Proprioception, Individual Muscle Fatigue, Intensity, Metabolism; These are some of the complex variables that come into the equation when assessing for potential 'supercompensation' measurements. Other influences are muscle strength and mass. For instance, muscle mass is influenced by the quantity of glycogen in the muscles, among others.

  7. Henneman's size principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henneman's_size_principle

    The soleus muscle is composed of "red" muscle which was revealed to indicate that muscle fibers were fatigue-resistant but created small forces when contracting. The gastrocnemius muscle is heterogeneous, composed of both "red" and "pale" muscle, and thus containing fast-twitch high force fibers.

  9. Motor unit recruitment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_unit_recruitment

    The muscle fibers belonging to one motor unit can be spread throughout part, or most of the entire muscle, depending on the number of fibers and size of the muscle. [2] [3] When a motor neuron is activated, all of the muscle fibers innervated by the motor neuron are stimulated and contract. The activation of one motor neuron will result in a ...
