responses to exercise - Coggle Diagram

- - - - where motor neurons communicate with a muscle fibre using nerve impulses
    - - made up of a motor neuron and all the associated muscle fibres it affects
      - these work together to coordinate contractions of a single skeletal muscle
      - low intensity exercise = type I
      - moderate to high intensity = type IIa
      - high intensity = type IIx
    - - provide sensory information about intensity of exercise
      - allow smooth, coordinated movement patterns
  - - - primary sensory receptors in the muscle respond to the velocity and degree of the stretch
        
        this information is sent to the brain via the spinal cord
      - secondary sensory receptors detect and send information about the degree of stretch to the CNS
        
        this information is transmitted to a motor neuron
        
        which activates the muscle to contract, reducing the stretch
- - - - encouraging muscle growth
    - - makes the appropriate type of exercise promote the building of muscle tissue
  - - - specifically the lengthening of bones
