The structures involved are muscles‚ tendons‚ ligaments and bones. By training regularly with activities such as lifting weights‚ working with resistance bands or climbing stairs‚ a person is able to increase their muscular strength‚ thus improving movement efficiency and

GTO detects muscle tension and active contraction through tension in the tendon which aids in regulation of a smooth contraction‚ from start to finish. When the GT is stretched‚ it sends a signal to the CNS and causes muscles to relax rather than contract further. As the muscle shortens during contraction‚ the tension increases in the tendon‚ activating GTO and facilitating antagonistic muscles. The GTO provides instantaneous information about the degree

frowning. Signals travel from your brain to your skeletal cells when you wish to move. Then‚ the cells get shorter‚ or contract. Tendons attach your skeletal muscles to your bones. Tendons are tough strands of connective tissue. When a muscle that is connected to two bones contracts‚ it pulls on the tendon which pulls on the bone. An example of this is the bicep. Tendons attach the bicep to a bone in your forearm and to a bone in your shoulder. Your forearm bends toward your shoulder when your
