Which of the following would NOT result in increased absolute strength (i.e. +force output) over time? Reduced efferent rate coding from the upper motor neurons (UMN). Reduced co-excitation of the agonist and antagonist. Increased cross-sectional area of a fast-twitch muscle. Increased number of active (recruited) motor units.
