Why is selective recruitment of high-threshold (fast-twitch) motor units during explosive movements, such as in plyometric training, an important adaptation?
A. It prevents the activation of slow-twitch fibers, which would slow movement velocity
B. It eliminates the need to follow the size principle during explosive movements
C. It allows high-quality force production without requiring recruitment of the entire muscle, preserving movement quality and speed in sport-specific skills
Answer in the poll, then explain your rationale below in the comments! I'll follow up with my breakdown of the question after enough people have responded.
From Chapter 5: Adaptations to Anaerobic Training Programs
