How did the bodies of animals, including ours, become such fine-tuned movement machines? How vertebrates coordinate the ...

Stretch sensors in our muscles participate in reflexes that serve the subconscious control of posture and movement. According to a new study published in the Journal of Neuroscience, these sensors ...

Next, they compared muscle stretch reflex when people received normal visual feedback on how the cursor was moving versus receiving a mirror-reversed version of how the cursor moved.

Next, they compared muscle stretch reflex when people received normal visual feedback on how the cursor was moving versus receiving a mirror-reversed version of how the cursor moved.

A key component of this feedback is the “stretch reflex” of muscle, which occurs milliseconds before the actual voluntary muscle movement. “Several studies have suggested that the brain integrates ...

"Old-school lifters swore by paused reps because they eliminate the stretch reflex," says Everett Miner, NASM -CPT. "Instead ...

Now, contract the muscle without moving (isometric stretching) by pushing gently against the stretch. This is best done with a partner, preferably a professional trainer, providing resistance.

MASTER CLASS: Protective reflex limits stretching, but PNF method’s a safe work-around. August 22, 2022 at 2:02 a.m. by Matt Parrott ...

Visual feedback is just as important as a sense of body position when it comes to the involuntary reflexes that activate muscle movement, says a new study in eLife. The findings provide insights into ...
