Choosing the right exercise
Manage episode 339410734 series 2611410
How does your brain choose which muscle to use during an exercise?
The nervous system ‘matches’ the areas of the muscle with the best leverage to the task. But there are also individual differences, even when using the same exercises.
We don’t always recruit the same muscle or even the same muscle regions with an exercise.
This has been shown in studies. Different parts of the same muscle can grow asymmetrically depending on the exercise used.
