Q

autogenic inhibition

A

When tension develops, the GTO fires and decreases tension in the muscle-tendon unit being stretched, enabling a muscle to be elongated against less muscle tension

  • ability for a muscle to relax when it experiences increased tension
  • activating the antagonist to get the antagonist the relax
