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.
Not exact matches
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).
Tricep dips help you target all three triceps heads at once with a heavy load
which translates to a maximal
recruitment of muscle
fibers and more growth.
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.
The best way to perfect your peaks is by giving more attention to eccentrics,
which allow for preferential fast - twitch muscle
fiber recruitment and prolonged time under tension.
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.
According to this idea, eccentric training produces earlier
recruitment of high threshold motor units,
which are suggested to correspond to type II muscle
fibers (McHugh et al. 2002).
Recruitment of muscle
fibers means the number of motor units that can be activated at a time, where the firing frequency means the speed at
which these motor units are activated and synchronization means how efficiently motor units are activated.
However, this has been strongly criticised (Vigotsky et al. 2015a; Vigotsky et al. 2015b), not least because the electric potential difference within muscles,
which is measured by EMG amplitude, is a function of both muscle
fiber recruitment and motor unit firing frequency, as well as of several additional peripheral factors (Kuriki et al. 2012).
They also fire up your central nervous system,
which in turn, helps increase muscle
fiber recruitment.
