1894 revisited: Cross-education of skilled muscular control in women and the importance of representation

GEP Pearcey, LA Smith, Y Sun, EP Zehr - Plos one, 2022 - journals.plos.org
In 1894 foundational work showed that training one limb for “muscular power”(ie strength) or
“muscular control”(ie skill) improves performance in both limbs. Despite that the original data …
