The Effects of Exercise on Motor Unit Improvement

Voluntary activation is the only real measurement that I would use to be confident about whether or not a bout of exercise is caused supraspinal or spinal central nervous system fatigue as we've been talking about. So there's a way to kind of measure how much fatigue has occurred in terms of motor improvement and we kind of define this as neuromuscular fatigue after we perform these bouts of exercise. And despite what you may think you don't actually get full motor unit improvement because we can strap up the machine to you and get way more motor recruitment than you're able to do on your own.
