time between the application of a stimulus and the beginning of contraction

33
Q

time during which the muscle contracts

A

contraction phase

individual muscle contract more forcefully

36
Q

sustained contraction that occurs when the frequency increases

37
Q

force of contraction of individual muscle fibers is increased by rapidly stimulating them

most common type of fatigue,involves the central nervous system rather than the muscle themselves

A

psychological fatigue

48
