Injuries have a detrimental impact on team and individual athletic performance. Deficits in
maximal strength, rate of force development (RFD), and reactive strength are commonly …

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 …

Single-pulse Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and, very recently, lumbar stimulation
(LS) have been used to measure cortico-spinal excitability from various interventions using …

Including a brief overview of current investigative approaches, the present Perspectives for
Progress article offers an overview of potential future experiments in the field of exercise …

Resistance exercise is used extensively in athletic and general populations to induce
neuromuscular adaptations to increase muscle size and performance. Exercise parameters …

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 …

We reviewed the evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) focusing on the
neurophysiological adaptations in the untrained side associated with cross-education of …

This study compared the effects of contralateral eccentric‐only (ECC) and concentric‐
/eccentric‐coupled resistance training (CON‐ECC) of the elbow flexors on immobilized arm …

Although maximal force increases following short-term isometric strength training, the rate of
force development (RFD) may remain relatively unaffected. The underlying neural and …

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of detraining following a block (BLOCK)
or daily undulating periodized (DUP) resistance training (RT) on hypertrophy, strength, and …
