The structure and function of the neuromuscular system affects sport performance. As well as, the cardiovascular and respiratory systems enable a person to perform a specific sport. Every movement we make requires the contraction of the muscles that are under the control of the cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex activates muscle fibers to perform the desired movement. The cardiovascular and respiratory system work together to deliver oxygen to the active muscles and remove carbon dioxide. This relate to sport performance because for an individual to generate speed, power, strength, and flexibility, the CNS must play a role in coordinating and activating all muscle fibers needed to perform the specific movement.
