Chronic resistance training: is it time to rethink the time course of neural contributions to strength gain?
Resistance training enhances muscular force due to a combination of neural plasticity and
muscle hypertrophy. It has been well documented that the increase in strength over the first …

Neuromuscular adaptations during the acquisition of muscle strength, power and motor tasks
T Moritani - Journal of biomechanics, 1993 - Elsevier
Neuromuscular performance is determined not only by the size of the involved muscles, but
also by the ability of the nervous system to appropriately activate the muscles. Adaptive …

Resistance training induced changes in strength and specific force at the fiber and whole muscle level: a meta-analysis
Purpose Considerable debate exists as to whether increases in strength that occur with
resistance exercise are the result of increases in muscle size. Most studies have attempted …
