| The amount of times a motor unit fires of times per second is known as what? | Motor unit firing rate |
| What factor determines how many motor units are recruited when performing a resistance exercise? | The load being lifted and the speed at which its being lifted (e.g. strength training and power training result in high motor recruitment) |
