How Our Body Knows Which Muscles to Work When Doing Something?

369 viewsBiologyOther

For example, when we do push ups chest, triceps and shoulders work. How our body says if I move these muscles I perform this action easily? Push ups can be done maybe using only chest or triceps muscle but our body decides to involve other muscles as well.

Practice.

You’ve got a pile of mush in your skull that’s the greatest pattern recognition machine in the known universe, and it’s got little tendrils that connect to all of your muscles that allows it to control them.

You ever seen a baby move around? They’re super uncoordinated and just kinda flail around because their brain has no idea how to control their bodies. Even young kids that can walk are still pretty clumsy and wobbly.

It’s only after years of trial and error that their brain can control their bodies with some level of agility.

The level of control you currently have over your limbs was something that took you years of literally constant practice to build up.
