The knowns and unknowns of neural adaptations to resistance training
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 …

Sex differences in fatigability following exercise normalised to the power–duration relationship
Key points Knee‐extensors demonstrate greater fatigue resistance in females compared to
males during single‐limb and whole‐body exercise. For single‐limb exercise, the intensity …

Persistent contralateral pain compromises exercise tolerance but does not alter corticomotor responses during repeated, submaximal isometric knee extensions to …
J Zhang, S Abel, M Macphail, SJ Aboodarda - Neuroscience, 2023 - Elsevier
Muscle pain is an important determinant of exercise tolerance, but its relationship with
neurophysiological responses during a submaximal exercise trial is unclear. The purpose of …

Task‐specific strength increases after lower‐limb compound resistance training occurred in the absence of corticospinal changes in vastus lateralis
New Findings What is the central question of the study? Are corticospinal responses to acute
and short‐term squat resistance training task‐specific? What is the main finding and its …

The Neuromuscular Fatigue-Induced Loss of Muscle Force Control
J Pethick, J Tallent - Sports, 2022 - mdpi.com
Neuromuscular fatigue is characterised not only by a reduction in the capacity to generate
maximal muscle force, but also in the ability to control submaximal muscle forces, ie, to …
