Stimulating more motor units will recruit more muscle fibers, resulting in a stronger muscle contraction. This is known as recruitment, and it allows the muscle to generate more force. Decreasing the frequency of stimulation or refractory period may increase the duration of muscle contraction, but it would not necessarily result in a stronger contraction. Blocking acetylcholinesterase would result in an accumulation of acetylcholine and potentially overstimulate the muscle, which could lead to muscle fatigue or injury.
