You explained it 100 times better than my physiology professor.

Your use of the markers as muscles and the other markers and spindles is so genius. It’s so simple, but so great because it’s easy to build off of. If I could go back to the high school version of me, I would make him say thank you to you. Thank you so much for this video.

I appreciate all this theory, must be interesting to explain what happens when we lift submassimal weights how golgi and spindle manage that signal to force our cells to grow to push the limit over. and must be interesting explain if ans how tendonds could imrpove their strenght tollerance and why with low weights we could broke muscle tissue or tendons. is fatigue ‘killing’ golgi capability to protect muscles?

So what are the differences between the function of the muscle spindle (nuclear chain and nuclear bag fibers), Golgi tendon organ, and intrafusal and extrafusal muscle.

Hi ,my question is when and where do we apply these theories in real practical time while training the client? Would you please throw some light on it ...?

[@TheMovementSystem]

Good question. One example is coaching plyometrics with a faster eccentric. Tell your athletes to throw their arms down hard during a vertical jump attempt and they will jump higher via increased muscle spindle activity.

[@aaronrajimon312]

Hello, So i underastand the concept of the stretch reflex , but kinda confused when its appliled . Im doing physio right now, and they say you are suppose to hold a stretch for 30 seconds and also go for a slow stretch to avoid a activation of the stretch reflex , im really confused on why , wouldnt it be better if it was activated as it would avoid a overstretch.

[@TheMovementSystem]

Typically the point of stretching is to increase stretch tolerance and improve range of motion. Overstretching isn’t a concern with slow stretching only with fast movements like a baseball throw where you don’t want to pull a muscle. For improving range of motion you typically get better results going slow and for longer than 30 seconds

[@slymm619]

Thank you for this explanation! This helps a lot more than reading words. 3 people must've got this question wrong lol

[@TheMovementSystem]

For sure

[@shreyasinha161]

Great explanation 😊 So, when the GTO inhibits the muscle contraction, what happens to the lift like back squat ?

[@TheMovementSystem]

Decreased force output from the agonist muscle, which would lead to lifting less weight
