Maximum strength training induces various improvements in the rate of force development
(RFD) on a group level, but no study has investigated inter-individual adaptations in RFD …

Marshall et al.(2011) recently published the results of a comprehensive strength training
study investigating the effect of the number of sets used in each training session on muscle …

The force generated during a maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) is known to increase by
resistance training. Although this increase cannot be solely attributed to changes in the …

The aim of the present study was to verify whether strength training designed to improve
explosive and maximal strength would influence rate of force development (RFD). Nine men …

Explosive muscular contractions are fundamental to sports activities such as sprinting,
jumping or throwing. In these types of contractions the rate at which force is developed has …

There is some evidence to suggest that ability to develop force in skeletal muscle can be
improved for a short period following repeated maximal strength exercise. Some studies …

changes after maximal force intervention. J Strength Cond Res 24 (7): 1874-1879, 2010-The …

The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of 11 wk of resistance training to
failure vs. nonfailure, followed by an identical 5-wk peaking period of maximal strength and …

The ability to generate high muscular strength within short time periods is of functional
importance not only as a basic quality in many sports disciplines but also for active …

Rate of force development (RFD) refers to the ability of the neuromuscular system to
increase contractile force from a low or resting level when muscle activation is performed as …
