TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Resistance Exercise for Impaired Muscle Performance A1 - Kisner, Carolyn A1 - Colby, Lynn Allen PY - 2012 T2 - Therapeutic Exercise: Foundations and Techniques, 6e AB - Muscle performance refers to the capacity of a muscle to do work (force × distance).11 Despite the simplicity of the definition, muscle performance is a complex component of functional movement and is influenced by all of the body systems. Factors that affect muscle performance include the morphological qualities of muscle; neurological, biochemical, and biomechanical influences; and metabolic, cardiovascular, respiratory, cognitive, and emotional function. For a person to anticipate, respond to, and control the forces applied to the body and carry out the physical demands of everyday life in a safe and efficient manner, the body's muscles must be able to produce, sustain, and regulate muscle tension to meet these demands.
