If a muscle is stimulated too frequently, there are usually negative consequences. For example, the muscle might cramp, tear, or be very sore and temporarily unusable.
No, but skeletal muscle is.
As the muscle workload increase, its threshold of stimulation increases.
The muscle is said to undergo Fatigue.
calcium is actively pumped into the extracellular fluid for storage until the next contraction
EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) and NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation) are both forms of electrical stimulation used in muscle rehabilitation. EMS primarily targets muscle fibers to improve strength and endurance, while NMES focuses on stimulating nerves to activate muscle contractions. EMS is often used for muscle building and recovery, while NMES is commonly used for rehabilitation and muscle re-education. Both techniques can be effective in improving muscle function and aiding in recovery, but their specific applications and impacts on muscle stimulation differ.

Mary needs to develop her fast muscle fibers. In order to do this, she will need to have frequent, brief and intensive workouts. She also needs to create muscle hypertrophy which will create an enlargement of the stimulated muscle. She can gain this by repeated and exhaustive stimulation which will create more mitochondria.
The total force that a muscle generates during a stimulated twitch depends on the frequency and intensity of the stimulation. In general, as the stimulation frequency increases, the force generated by the muscle also increases up to a point, where it reaches a plateau known as tetanus. After this point, increasing the stimulation frequency further does not significantly increase the force output.
Smooth & cardiac muscle.

cardiac muscle and smooth muscle?
