Video Course Mechanics and Physiology of Muscle Contraction
What do the most recent scientific studies say about muscle contraction? Which mechanisms come into play during specific actions and which comparisons are correct to analyse when setting up a training programme?
Introduction
Accessible from All Devices
Knowing and Knowing How to Apply
Scientific Approach
This video course explains the mechanisms and physiology of muscle contraction, proposing analyses, tools and methods to choose professionally how to intervene in a conditioning programme for performance and recovery. A fundamental course to understand, learn and access the most up-to-date training on the international scene, led by one of the world's leading experts on athletic performance.
Course content
- 01
Hierarchy of the Neuromuscular System
From the Central Nervous System to the muscular system. From the alpha motor neuron to the muscle fibre.
- 02
Interaction of the Functional Unit
From muscle tension to movement. We analyse how complex motor gestures develop, from the activation of the nervous system to the modulation of the response.
- 03
Recruitment Process
"Size Principle" The motor-neuron size principle and activation threshold. Henneman's principle. From theory to practice.
