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
Kilogram-force per square centimetre SI units, the unit is converted to the SI derived unit pascal (Pa), which is defined as one newton per square metre (N/m). A newton is equal to a kg·m/s, and a kilogram-force is 9.80665 newtons, meaning that 1 kgf/cm equals 98.0665 kilopascals (kPa). In some older publications, kilogram-force per square centimetre is abbreviated ksc instead of kg/cm. All the Russian origin gauges are indicating pressure in Kgf/cm2 and are calibrated annually. Kilogram-force per square centimetre A kilogram-force per centimetre square (kgf/cm), often just kilogram per square centimetre (kg/cm), or kilopond per centimetre square is a deprecated unit of pressure
