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
Eotvos (unit) Eotvos (unit) The eotvos is a unit of acceleration divided by distance that was used in conjunction with the older centimeter-gram-second system of units (cgs). The eotvos is defined as 1/1,000,000,000 galileos per centimetre. The symbol of the eotvos unit is E. In SI units or in cgs units, 1 eotvos = 10 second. The gravitational gradient of the Earth, that is, the change in the gravitational acceleration vector from one point on the Earth’s surface to another, is customarily measured in units of eotvos. The Earth's gravity gradient is dominated by the component due to Earth's near-spherical shape, which
