Difference between all or none and fractionation

All or none - for a single muscle FIBRE or nerve FIBRE

If stimulus is inadequate -  no response.
If stimulus is adequate - maximum response

Fractionation - For a group of muscle fibres
If stimulus is low - few , thinner muscle fibers respond
If stimulus is high, more and more respond. Higher stimulus - thicker fibers
