Cerebellum
Summary

The cerebellum, a mini brain structure, plays a crucial role in learning motor sequences and timing. It is also involved in increasing range of motion and flexibility by modifying the neural innervation of muscles.

Vision
Summary

Vision and muscle strength might be more closely related than previously thought. Studies suggest that the range of visual motion and your range of vision can impact how far you can extend your limbs.

Exercise
Summary

Eye movements can help generate a larger range of motion in warm-up exercises due to the convergence of proprioceptive visual and limb movement feedback. Additionally, getting into modes of acceleration can also open up windows for plasticity in other ways.
