|---|---|
 muscle fatigue | inability of muscle fibers to contract after long period of contraction. |
| latent period | time between muscle fiber stimulation and measurement of force generation. |
| maximal force | motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates. |
| contraction period | period of force generated |
| unfused tetanus | type of wave summation with partial relaxation observed between twitches. |
| motor unit recruitment | increasing the number of motor units that are stimulated to contract. |
| maximal stimulant | stimulus that results in maximal force generated. |
| threshold stimulus | lowest stimulus that results in force generated, |
| twitch contraction | single contractile event in response to single action potential. |
| contraction period | period during which more crossbridges detach then reattach to thin filaments. |
| fused tetanus | type of wave summation with no observable relaxation between twitches. |
