<em>Autogenic reflex inhibition</em> is a <em>rapid muscle relaxation following high tension growth</em>. It is a response that lengthens self-induced adverse feedback that <em>prevents muscle injury</em>.
Golgi tendon bodies are reflex receptors. <em>Autogenic inhibition is a defense mechanism that prevents muscles from exerting more strength than can be tolerated by the bones and tendons</em>.
