muscle structure

muscle function

fiber type

TASKS TO CONSIDER

Low power task

High power task

REACTION TIME

sum of reaction time and movement time

a primary factor affecting a response is the number of possible stimuli, each requiring their own response (simple reaction and choice reaction time)

is an inherent ability but overall response time can be improved by practice

THINGS TO CONSIDER!

detecting cue

detecting relevant cues

decision making

change attention

controlling anxiety

warm up
