The Neural System#

[DRAFT OUTLINE — Claude]

Planned coverage:

• Motor units - what they are, and the size principle that orders recruitment
• Rate coding - firing frequency as the second lever after recruitment
• Intermuscular coordination and antagonist co-contraction
• Myelination and why practice makes movement automatic
• Neural drive vs muscle size - why early strength gains are not growth
• The stretch reflex, Golgi tendon organs, and autogenic inhibition
• Fatigue that is central rather than peripheral

Feeds: Skill, Speed, Power, Strength, Mobility.
