What specific types of sensory receptors stimulated by someone performing a complicated yoga pose
1. Proprioceptors: These receptors detect the position and movement of muscles and joints, allowing the individual to maintain balance and stability during the pose.
2. Mechanoreceptors: These receptors respond to mechanical stimuli such as pressure and stretching, helping the individual to feel and adjust their body position in the pose.
3. Thermoreceptors: These receptors detect changes in body temperature brought on by physical exertion during the pose.
4. Pain receptors (nociceptors): These receptors may be stimulated if the pose is performed incorrectly or if the individual pushes their body beyond its limits, causing discomfort or pain.
