Observations‚ Report and Conclusion: A. Define muscle tonus and give its importance * Muscle tonus refers to a state of slight muscular contraction maintained by synchronous impulses of low frequency‚ discharged by the spinal motor neurons. * Reflex in nature. * Muscle tonus is a small amount of tension in the muscle due to weak‚ involuntary contractions of its motor units. Muscle tonus is important in a sense that it governs the posture of an individual‚ enabling him to maintain body balance

activities of daily living. PNF is a type of passive stretching that uses alternating contraction and relaxation movements to increase flexibility. The reason why PNF is better than other forms of flexibility training is that it helps the body’s muscular inhibition. For the elite performer‚ the most useful type of PNF is the CRAC (contract-relax‚ antagonist-contract) technique‚ which uses isometric muscle contractions as its basis. PNF stretching is best performed with a partner. Muscle recruitment is

phenomenon in which the heating of a wire filament by an electric current causes the wire to emit photons‚ the basic energy packets of light. LEDs operate by electroluminescence‚ a phenomenon in which the emission of photons is caused by electronic excitation of a material. The material used most often in LEDs is gallium arsenide‚ though there are many variations on this basic compound‚ such as aluminum gallium arsenide or aluminum gallium indium phosphide. These compounds are members of the so-called
