Motor unit plasticity is currently incorporated into many professional and collegiate training regiments. Motor unit plasticity can be measured in many ways, the most important of which being neural firing frequency, EMG amplitude, muscle force output, pre-synaptic inhibition, and synchronization. Firing frequency is defined as the number of neuronal signals sent per second on one motoneuron. This frequency is measured in Hertz. Maximum firing frequency in humans typically ranges from 100–200 Hz. Studies incorporating electromyography have proven that adaptation mechanisms occurring as a result of resistance training can drastically increase the maximal firing frequency of a motoneuron. Firing frequency has been shown to
Kinetic theory of gases can calculate the number of atomic or molecular collisions with a wall of a container per unit area per unit time. Assuming an ideal gas, a derivation results in an equation for total number of collisions per unit time per area: This quantity is also known as the "impingement rate" in vacuum physics. From the kinetic energy formula it can be shown that where "v" is in m/s, "T" is in kelvins, and "m" is the mass of one molecule of gas. The most probable (or mode) speed formula_26 is 81.6% of the rms speed formula_27, and the mean (arithmetic
