PDF Relationship Between the Function of the Autonomic Nervous System and Voluntary Movement

【Supercategory:7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory:7.4 Vol.4

 We studied about the relationship between the function of the autonomic nervous system and the voluntary movement. We observed the changes of the activity of the voluntary movement during the parasympathicotonia induced by Aschner's test.
 We observed the following changes during Aschner's test.
 (1) The recruitment threshold of single motor unit decreased.
 (2) The spike intervals of single motor unit at constant tensions decreased.
 (3) The responses of patella tendon reflex increased.
 (4) The amplitudes of H-wave increased.
 Above results suggest that the activity of the voluntary movement increased at parasympathicotonia.
