Which type of contraction can produce greater force or tension?

• Fast Concentric

• Slow Eccentric

• Fast Eccentric

• Slow Concentric

Which muscle can produce greater force or tension?

The following are neural adaptations to exercise EXCEPT

• Lowered neural inhibitory reflexes

• increased CHO aerobic capacity

• increased motor unit synchronization

• improved firing rates

Muscle Hypertrophy is caused by the following adaptations:

• increased amounts of connective, tendinous, and ligamentous tissues

• increased number and size of myofibrils per muscle fiber

• increased amounts of contractile proteins

• all of the above
