The force of muscle contraction can be increased by all of the following except:

A
Increasing the frequency of activation of motor units
B
Increasing the number of motor units activated
C
Increasing the amplitude of action potentials in the motor neurons
D
Recruiting larger motor units
High-Yield Explanation
Action potential follows an all or none law. When sufficient amplitude is reached to produce a motor response, increasing the amplitude fuher will not have any effect on the motor response.
