Henneman's size principle of motor unit recruitment and rate coding reduces fatigue, minimizes error in transfer of information from the nervous system, and produces smooth force output. Plasticity present at various sites of the motor system may change endurance, force, speed, or precision with training, but not the recruitment order.
