Muscle contraction occurs when actin filaments slide over myosin filaments, shortening the sarcomere. This is triggered by an action potential that causes acetylcholine release and calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Calcium binds to troponin, allowing the myosin heads to bind to actin and generate force. Muscle relaxation occurs when the stimulus stops and calcium is pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The size principle states that smaller motor units are recruited before larger ones, based on the force demands of the muscle. Low resistance training recruits smaller units, while high resistance recruits larger units. Only recruited units will benefit from training. The all-or-none
