Neuromuscular Calibration

Meaning

Neuromuscular Calibration is the process of optimizing the functional efficiency of the entire motor unit, which comprises the motor neuron and the muscle fibers it innervates. This calibration involves enhancing the speed, precision, and force-generating capacity of muscle contractions through improved neural drive, synchronization of motor unit firing, and increased sensitivity of muscle receptors. Clinically, this process translates to improved movement economy, enhanced power output, and a reduced risk of injury, all of which are critical for sustained physical health and performance. Optimal hormonal status, particularly testosterone and growth hormone, is a permissive factor for effective calibration.
