Question 8
What principle dictates that when a motor neuron fires, all its muscle fibers contract fully?
Question 9
What is a common myth about overall fitness?
Question 10
Which type of muscle fibers have a larger diameter and produce high force/velocity but fatigue quickly?
Question 11
How does heavy resistance training impact hypertrophy?
Question 12
At what age does muscle mass begin to decline, and by how much per decade from the 30s?
Question 13
What is the consequence for the elderly of maintaining fast twitch muscle fibers?
Question 14
Which muscle fiber type is more fatigue-resistant but generates less force/velocity?
