This document discusses neuromuscular anatomy and adaptations to conditioning. It focuses on how resistance training leads to neural adaptations and reviews key terms related to plyometrics and agility exercises. It poses questions about the muscle fibers used in different exercises and how proprioceptors like muscle spindles and GTOs interact during movement. Finally, it asks readers to consider how to evaluate the difficulty of exercises and compare traditional weight training to exercises like plyometrics.

Neuromuscular anatomy and adaptations to conditioning

Understanding how the body controls muscle contractions from a neural point of view is
important. As we learn more and more about the adaptations we receive from resistance
training, we are learning that a large portion of it is neural in nature. Review the key
terms above and view the different Plyometric and Agility Videos.

Consider these questions:
What type of muscle fibers do these activities rely upon? Why? How would
you alter these workouts so they used different muscle fibers?
Muscle spindles and GTOs are proprioceptors that the body uses to control
muscle contractions. Muscle spindles facilitate activation of the muscle while
neural input from GTOs inhibit muscle activation. How do these two
proprioceptors interact during agility and plyometric activity?
What activities look to be the most challenging? the easiest? How are you
making your decision? Is it based on complexity or the physical demands the
activity requires? How would you rank these exercises based on these
categories? What other ways can you judge the difficulty of an exercise?
Compare these sort of activities to traditional weight training exercises.

How do they differ in complexity and difficulty? Which ones would take
longest to learn? Why?
Review Questions

1) True or false: muscle spindles are proprioceptors located in tendons near the
myotendinous junction and are in series with extrafusal muscle fibers.

2) Define the following terms:
all-or-none principle:


tetanus:


kinesthetic sense:


FOR ADDED STRENGTH: Draw and label a diagram involving a muscle spindle. What
do muscle spindles do? How does activation of a muscle spindle cause a muscle
contraction?
