Muscle spindles cause two things to happen: 1) the muscle being stretched (agonist) contracts to prevent you from going too far too fast in that stretch; and 2) the opposing muscle force (antagonist) is inhibited (prevented from contracting) so that that muscle doesnât pull that stretch further.he muscle spindleâs reflex contraction of its associated muscle simultaneously causes the antagonist muscle group to relax, which is called reciprocal inhibition. The muscle spindle serves as an alert to the muscles; they are located in the muscle belly and sense muscle stretch.
âIt always seems impossible until its done.â. Nelson Mandela quotes (South African Statesman First democratically elected State President of South Africa (1994), 1993 Nobel Prize for Peace, b.1918)
In 2010, blogger Fiona Broome coined the term âMandela Effectâ to describe a collective false memory she discovered at the Dragon Con convention, where many others believed that former South African President Nelson Mandela died during his imprisonment in the 1980s.
