  2. Muscle contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_contraction

    In concentric contraction, muscle tension is sufficient to overcome the load, and the muscle shortens as it contracts. [8] This occurs when the force generated by the muscle exceeds the load opposing its contraction. During a concentric contraction, a muscle is stimulated to contract according to the sliding filament theory. This occurs ...

  3. All-or-none law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-or-none_law

    An induction shock produces a contraction or fails to do so according to its strength; if it does so at all, it produces the greatest contraction that can be produced by any strength of stimulus in the condition of the muscle at the time. This principle was later found to be present in skeletal muscle by Keith Lucas in 1909. [1]

    The isometric contraction occurs when the force your muscles create is equal to the force of your external load. When this happens, your muscles create force while neither lengthening nor shortening.

  5. Isotonic contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotonic_contraction

    There are two types of isotonic contractions: (1) concentric and (2) eccentric. In a concentric contraction, the muscle tension rises to meet the resistance, then remains the same as the muscle shortens. In eccentric, the muscle lengthens due to the resistance being greater than the force the muscle is producing. [citation needed]

  6. Motor control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_control

    Noise. Noise is defined as small fluctuations that are unrelated to a signal, which can occur in neurons and synaptic connections at any point from sensation to muscle contraction. Delays. Motor neuron activity precedes muscle contraction, which precedes the movement. Sensory signals also reflect events that have already occurred.

  8. Stretch shortening cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretch_shortening_cycle

    A stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) is an active stretch (eccentric contraction) of a muscle followed by an immediate shortening (concentric contraction) of that same muscle. Research studies [ edit ]

  9. Isoinertial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoinertial

    The isoinertial's muscle activity follows the muscular action of the sporting gesture or rather what the body or parts of it are in duty to perform in sports, according to which, in strength and speed variable, an inertial load (such as a ball), a limb or the body itself (such as when accelerating or changing direction) the athlete is forced to respond at the level coordinative motor and ...
