Best Answer

Motor units can be recruited when the activation of the motor neuron activates all muscles fibers in the motor unit. The increase in tension occurs in steps proportional to the size of the motor unit.

How do asynchronous motor units summation reduce muscle fatigue and how does this relate to muscle tone?

Asynchronous recruitment of motor units is used to prevent fatigue. While some motor units are active others are inactive. This pattern of firing of motor neurons prevents fatigue while maintaining contraction by allowing a brief rest for the inactive units.
