According to the size principle of motor neurons: A. The smaller the motor unit, the highest is the generated force. B. The smaller the motor neuron, the lowest is the motor unit activation threshold. C. The progressive activation of motor units follows the sequence: i) Fast Fatigable, ii) Fast fatigue-resistant, iii) Slow. D. The smaller the motor unit, the fastest is the motor unit to get fatigued.

1. Describe the sliding filament theory, the size principle of motor unit recruitment, and the all or none theory? When training a bodybuilder, why is an understanding of these three principles necessary and how can they be applied when designing training programs for bodybuilders?
