Neural mechanisms responsible for adaptations in strength and power include all of the following EXCEPT an increased _____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antagonist muscle coactivation is not an adaptation in strength and power; it is actually a limiting factor that decreases force output by preventing the agonist muscle from generating maximal force. The other choices - motor unit recruitment, motor unit firing rate, and fast-twitch fiber recruitment - are all adaptations that increase strength and power.
