When it is signaled to contract, it activates all of its attached muscle fibers. According to the all-or-none theory, a motor unit is either active or inactive.There are a number of different muscle unit types, which are typically organized into three general categories: type I, type IIA and type IIB Think of a motor unit as a light switch for the muscle-as a muscle is required to generate a force, the motor units will “light up” to stimulate the fibers to shorten in order to produce that force. A muscle motor unit is the motor neuron and the attached muscle fibers. Muscle fibers are activated by a motor neuron, which is the connection between the central nervous system and the specific muscle required to perform a particular activity.As fibers are damaged from exercise, they signal the biochemical reaction to produce new satellite cells responsible for repairing the mechanical structure of the muscle cell and for building new muscle proteins. Mechanical stress refers to the physical stresses applied during resistance training, which cause microtrauma to muscle fibers. Muscle fibers adapt to the specific type of exercise stimulus imposed during training.To more effectively help your clients achieve their fitness goals, keep in mind these important facts about muscle fibers and how they are affected by exercise: If you are interested in designing exercise programs that produce results, it is important to have a good understanding of how muscle fibers work and respond to exercise. Muscle-lengthening actions can be applied to control and decelerate a force for example, the quadriceps and glutes lengthen to control the motion of the body as it returns to a seated position. Muscle-shortening actions can generate a force to move a resistance for example, when moving from a seated to a standing position, the quadriceps and gluteus maximus shorten to help the body stand up against gravity. The primary purpose of muscle fibers is to control physical forces moving through the body. If all of the fibers within a muscle contract, it creates the shape commonly associated with a well-defined muscle. The term tone comes from “tonus,” which is the technical term for a state of contraction of a muscle fiber. Toning up, or improving muscle definition, is one of the most common goals of individuals starting an exercise program.
