Resistance training increases volitional force-producing capacity, and it is widely accepted
that such an increase is partly underpinned by adaptations in the central nervous system …

The initial increases in force production with resistance training are thought to be primarily
underpinned by neural adaptations. This notion is firmly supported by evidence displaying …

It has long been believed that resistance training is accompanied by changes within the
nervous system that play an important role in the development of strength. Many elements of …

Background Resistance-training causes changes in the central nervous system (CNS);
however, the sites of these adaptations remain unclear. Objective To determine sites of …

In addition to the established postural control role of the reticulospinal tract (RST), there has
been an increasing interest on its involvement in strength, motor recovery, and other gross …

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 …

Neural adaptations to resistance training (RT) and their correlation with muscle strength
remain partially understood. We conducted a systematic review and multivariate meta …

Optimal strategies for enhancing strength and improving motor skills are vital in athletic
performance and clinical rehabilitation. Initial increases in strength and the acquisition of …

Following a program of resistance training, there are neural and muscular contributions to
the gain in strength. Here, we measured changes in important central motor pathways …

After exposure of the human body to resistive exercise, the force‐generation capacity of the
trained muscles increases significantly. Despite decades of research, the neural and …
