Thank you! After hours of reading and not getting it, you made it simple.

[@TheMovementSystem]

You’re welcome!

[@mwilson042290]

Bruh I'm in a doctorate program and you explained this way more simply, beautifully, and with awesome applicable examples. Thank you!!

[@TheMovementSystem]

You're welcome!

[@AlisaMeyer97]

No matter how many times I read the definitions in my book it never made sense... I finally understand what the two mean! Thank you!

[@nickcaprio9279]

Studying for a KIN test right now and I've been rereading definitions over and over but it never made sense. Hearing you explain this made is SO much more understandable! Thank you for making this easier to understand!

[@Ken32329]

The colour plan Anaology of Muscle Spindle is very east-to-understand. Ty very much for the video

[@TheMovementSystem]

You're welcome!

[@southpoleelvs]

0:44 - what a great example - thank you so much

[@karu1445]

wow it made sense to me the reciprocal inhibits opposing muscle while the autogenic inhibits the primary muscle

[@Johanhojan]

I feel like I watched this video, studied the book and took notes countless times and suddenly it just clicked! Thank you.

Thank you so much! This was extremely helpful as I have been getting caught up in these types of questions. Using the specific examples was key to visualizing what is going on.

[@melissadrake4339]

I just passed my cpt exam! I seriously appreciate all your videos! They really helped me so much.

[@TheMovementSystem]

[@Salyx333]

Thank you! Studying for a therapeutic exercise exam, and this really helped!

[@jacquelingtraveling1337]

very helpful. I clicked through 3-4 videos looking for an explanation on autogenic and reciprocal inhibition and yours was the most informative and easy to understand. thanks!

[@TheMovementSystem]

Thanks! My goal was to make the best one!

[@paoloarceo8773]

I take my CPT exam soon and after hours of not getting this concept, this video is the only thing that helped! Thank you!

[@sreg56]

This is the best explanation I've found, the visuals help big time. Thanks man!

[@TheMovementSystem]

Glad to hear it!

I have a test tomorrow morning and I was not grasping this until this video so thank you :)

[@TheMovementSystem]

Good luck on your test!

[@Princeton_James]

Man you explained this so well. Now I just need to memorize it for the test. Thanks a lot. This is the best explanation online.

[@prosenjitization]

Aah moment definitely..Thank you buddy

[@guadalupeinescastillo8635]

Please more videos like these thank you!

[@tonystafford1760]

Can you further explain the last part of “… training to override the inhibition to adapt to heavy training loads”? Thanks

[@TheMovementSystem]

If you use heavy loads often over time the body will decrease the antagonist inhibition. Training with low loads and high demand on balance would increase the antagonist coactivation

[@isaaccruz6021]

Great video

[@eezalign9634]

Thanks for the excellent explanation, very well put up. Keep making great videos . stay blessed

great video!!!!!!!!!

[@Yojax]

Woah this has really confused me. I came here thinking reciprocal inhibition can improve flexibility by contracting the antagonist at end ROM. But what you’re saying is different, no?

[@lylrys]

Reciprocal inhibition does improve flexibility by contracting the opposite muscle that you want to lengthen. I think that's what he's saying. *shrugs*

[@virion5850]

​@@lylrysreciprocal inhibition relax the opposing muscle rather than contracting it.. making the job for flexor muscle easier

[@humanbeing3177]

Most of the viewers of your channel are doctors.🤣🤣🤣🤣. I am also. Thanks for this video

[@TheMovementSystem]

Nice! Yea a lot of doctors and health and fitness professionals

[@tareknageeb2832]

How do you detriment the loads for a power lifting program? because you mentioned that 85%+ is consider a high load

[@laurenhudson1194]

THANK YOU!

[@abbyconroy]

So it's possible that I have more co-activaton bc I have been over-stretching and it could be causing my agonist muscles to be less efficient?

[@philkang3860]

It would be incorrect to associate the mechanisms of reciprocal inhibition (RI) occurring as a result of muscle spindles via stretch reflex. RI merely facilitates the muscle spindle’s stretch reflex response, and is NOT required for the reflex to occur. RI only plays a role in facilitating the stretch reflex response during quick movements (i.e. baseball pitch, knee jerk reflex, etc.) because muscle spindles are ONLY activated during RAPID stretches. The main proprioceptor behind the fundamental mechanisms of reciprocal inhibition are GTOs! For example: when the hip flexors (agonist) are contracted/activated during the hold-relax w/ agonist contraction hamstring stretch, the increased ROM that occurs is due to the hamstrings (antagonist) simultaneously experiencing increased tension from the stretch, which activates GTOs in the hamstring to cause a relaxation response and ultimately increasing ROM in the direction of the agonist (reciprocal inhibition). In this case, muscle spindles play NO role in the reciprocal inhibition that occurs during the hold relax w/ agonist contraction PNF technique.

[@TheMovementSystem]

The information presented in this video is from the Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning Textbook Pages 10-13 and 325-327. You're certainly welcome to make a video based on your own information source if you would like.

[@philkang3860]

@@TheMovementSystem Appreciate the response. Just went over and reread the pages you listed and can't seem to find anywhere that says muscle spindles are responsible for the actions of reciprocal inhibition. Do you mind pointing out what section this video is specifically referring to? Just a bit confused because the bottom of page 323 specifically states that reciprocal inhibition is due to the actions of GTO.

[@TheMovementSystem]

@@philkang3860 The pathway for the muscle spindle to cause reciprocal inhibition is through the inhibitory interneuron which inhibits the antagonist muscle. This is on page 164 of the National Physical Therapy Exam Review & Study Guide book specifically but now that I look back at it, the CSCS book on page 323 doesn't actually get into interneurons in the discussion of the stretch reflex. Perhaps you're just familiar with one role of the muscle spindles, but there is also a 1a afferent that synapses on alpha motor neurons to contract the homonymous motor pool. (reciprocal inhibition)

[@qaziahmed4281]

Hi, what is the difference between “stretch” and “tension” as you mentioned these phrases in the video. Also, in regards to reciprocal inhibition i thought that the agonist would contract rather than stretch. Im a little confused.

[@TheMovementSystem]

Stretch would be to lengthen. Tension can be created by shortening a muscle.

[@h.ann.11]

you rock bro

Appreciate you Sexy Legs haha

[@abhinavsingss4918]

Thanks 🙏

[@TheMovementSystem]

You’re welcome!

[@xleg3ndkill3rx]

wouldnt dampening the GTO response increase our chance of injury if the body doesnt let one know it's too much load before the tendon tear?

[@josh0340]

Hi, I have had very tight calves for about 3 years now and have seen all kinds of specialists and tried loads of stretches and still have the problem, I have been doing some research and muscle inhibition does sound pretty similar to what it feels like .. could u help with this? I will pay u !

[@physiotherapymotivation4945]

💎👍👍👍Great

[@carloslucas1422]

What are the differtence between P I R and R I ?

[@Brokiemon]

I still don't understand muscle inhibition, would help if you can explain what it feels like but I guess I'll just memorize your complicated big words and move on with my studies

[@TheMovementSystem]

Think of it as the signal being inhibited from getting to the muscle all the way. Like a roadblock partially restricting the flow of traffic

[@Brokiemon]

@@TheMovementSystem ok so yeah in reference to my last comment it kinda was like a cramp that didn't hurt but it didn't allow me to push the cart further! That's such a clear example thanks so much

[@AmberMardones]

your awesome!

[@alaaahmed2695]

Isn't the Gto that cause reciprocal inhibtion?

[@josaibanez59]

Thankyouuu sir

Read the book and was confused.. watched this video and now im a master… huh!?!?😂😂

I've got the "aha" moment indeed

[@stevesullivan457]

Nice video But muscles don’t stretch. They do lengthen.
