Purpose: Neural adaptations to strength training have long been recognized, but knowledge
of mechanisms remains incomplete. Using novel techniques and a design which limited …

Abstract Kidgell, DJ, Stokes, MA, Castricum, TJ, and Pearce, AJ. Neurophysiological
responses after short-term strength training of the biceps brachii muscle. J Strength Cond …

Purpose Acute strength training of forearm muscles increases resting twitch forces from
motor cortex stimulation. It is unclear if such effects are spinal in origin and if they also occur …

Purpose We used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to determine the corticospinal
responses from an agonist and synergist muscle following strength training of the right …

Strength training results in changes in skeletal muscle; however, changes in the central
nervous system also occur. Over the last 15 years, non‐invasive brain stimulation …

Aim: Although there is considerable evidence that strength training causes adaptations in
the central nervous system, many details remain unclear. Here we studied neuromuscular …

Equivocal evidence indicates that high-intensity muscle contractions can affect the
corticospinal responses in muscles not directly involved in the task. In the present study, the …

Cross-education of strength occurs when strength-training 1 limb increases the strength of
the untrained limb and is restricted to the untrained homologous muscle. Cortical circuits …

Aim: Strength training of one limb results in a substantial increase in the strength of the
untrained limb, however, it remains unknown what the corticospinal responses are following …

Changes in corticospinal excitability induced by 4 wk of heavy strength training or
visuomotor skill learning were investigated in 24 healthy human subjects. Measurements of …
