Plyometric exercises promote high movement speed, lots of muscle -
fiber recruitment in a short period, and trained release of the powerful elastic energy stored in tendons.

Recent evidence
in healthy adults shows that training with high effort (intended muscle contraction) combined with minimal physical exercise increases brain - to - muscle command, which helps improve motor unit
recruitment and activation level resulting
in muscle strengthening (a motor unit is consisted of a motor neuron
in the spinal cord and muscle
fibers it controls).
By working the smaller muscles first
in the workout, and then hit the larger muscles with high intensity
in order to force them to work even harder and achieve maximum muscle
fiber recruitment.
That being said, make sure to keep the eccentric portion of the curl at least one second long
in duration to maximize tension and muscle
fiber recruitment.
Some personal trainers will tell you that the best way to lift is explosively, thereby maximizing
fiber recruitment and triggering greater growth, while others claim that lifting
in a slow and controlled manner, especially on the eccentric portion of the movement, will create greater muscle tension and lead to greater hypertrophy.
For example, deadlifts work almost every muscle
in the body and that provides maximal muscle
fiber recruitment and an increased stimulus for muscle growth, which
in turn allows for more weight to be lifted.
Keep
in mind that although forced reps and dropsets, which are designed to help you squeeze few more reps out of your already drained muscles, can spur even bigger gains by producing greater metabolic stress, lactic acid and stimulating more muscle
fiber recruitment, these methods will also take an even greater toll on your body and shouldn't be used too frequently.
However,
in order to make the most out of it, you need to perform different versions of the bench press with proper form and technique, thus allowing for optimal muscle
fiber recruitment and overload.
So if you want to enhance your performance almost immediately and achieve stellar growth
in the shortest time possible, maximizing metabolic stress is the way to go — by optimizing your energy turnover, increasing muscle
fiber recruitment and boosting the production of anabolic hormones, metabolic stress can promote awe - inspiring muscle growth.
In order to maximize this muscle
fiber recruitment, it is absolutely essential to lift heavy weights.
Since plyometrics are a very high neural
recruitment modality, they recruit fast - twitch
fibers and have the capability of enhancing weight room lifts,
in addition to improving jump measures.
In the book Training for Speed, legendary speed coach Charlie Francis says, «early strength training also aids in the recruitment of fast twitch muscle fibers, the more fast twitch fibers, the more explosive an athlete i
In the book Training for Speed, legendary speed coach Charlie Francis says, «early strength training also aids
in the recruitment of fast twitch muscle fibers, the more fast twitch fibers, the more explosive an athlete i
in the
recruitment of fast twitch muscle
fibers, the more fast twitch
fibers, the more explosive an athlete is.
Working on peak power output will help to improve your fast - twitch muscle
fiber recruitment which plays a huge role
in all athletic endeavors that require speed and power.
Heavier weights cause the
recruitment of fast twitch
fibers — the
fibers with the greatest potential to increase
in size and strength.
Also, I do not concur with the hypothesis that the effect could be due to type I
fiber burnout during the high rep set and the subsequent increase
in type II
fiber recruitment.
In order to lift that weight for the 1st rep requires a simultaneous recruitment of thousands of fibers in the working muscl
In order to lift that weight for the 1st rep requires a simultaneous
recruitment of thousands of
fibers in the working muscl
in the working muscle.
In order to continue lifting the weight the brain has to recruit additional muscle
fibers — sequential
recruitment.
In the end tempo's all about
fiber recruitment and fatigue.
Without adequate muscle tissue, athletes will be limited
in the ability to recover from long - term training cycles, have limited muscle unit
recruitment patterns, and may lack the ability to produce high amounts of force (decreased muscle tissue, lack of muscle
fiber recurrent, etc.).
Individuals hoping to post competitive times
in distances up to the 5k will benefit most from ME lifts and DE circuits and speed lifts that emphasize improved specific anaerobic work capacity (i.e. muscular endurance
in the legs), improved muscle
fiber recruitment and maintenance of optimal running biomechanics while fatigued.
The benefit of these lifts include dramatically increased rate of force production (the delay from when you «ask» your muscles to move to the moment they ACTUALLY move, at maximum force), improved coordination, enhanced muscle
fiber recruitment, and ultimately, improved speed
in your endurance sport of choice (provided you are targeting the relevant muscle groups for proper crossover).
Depends on one's goals: I do kettlebells to have optimal strength development & improve functional ability... increase mass = increase
in muscle
fiber recruitment = increase
in strength gains thru the entire kinetic chain.
When any increase
in EMG amplitude is observed, this could arise from an increase
in muscle
fiber recruitment, an increase
in the motor unit firing frequency, or an alteration
in one of the peripheral factors.
Although EMG amplitude can not be taken as a proxy measure of muscle
fiber recruitment (Vigotsky et al. 2015a), there are nevertheless some indications that it is related to the long - term changes
in muscle size under certain conditions.
Early studies
in this area inferred that the increase
in EMG amplitude observed was a function of increasing motor unit
recruitment, with additional muscle
fibers being recruited to support those that were fatigued (Edwards & Lippold, 1956; Arabadzhiev et al. 2010).
So if we are able to increase the load and stress on the body to allow for greater
recruitment of muscle
fibers, there would be an increase
in strength.
In our pursuit of SAVAGE STRENGTH, the best way for us to maximize muscle
fiber recruitment and an adaptive response from our nervous system is to use very heavy loads.
They also fire up your central nervous system, which
in turn, helps increase muscle
fiber recruitment.
