Background In the early phase after a total knee arthroplasty (TKA), patients experience multi-level weakness in the operated leg, which is caused primarily by reduced central nervous system (CNS) activation failure of the muscles - especially the knee ...

Exploring the practical knowledge of eccentric resistance training in high-performance strength and conditioning practitioners [PDF]
Habitual use of eccentric exercise has been recognised to increase strength and power; however, the current body of knowledge has limited potential to understand the application of such resistance training in athletic populations.

Exercise for endurance and strength:Always separate? [PDF]
Physical training can be classified into three main types: endurance, resistance, and patterned movements. The first two of them have a significant impact on muscle phenotype and metabolism while patterned movement exercises concern changes in a motor ...

Adaptations in corticospinal excitability and inhibition are not spatially confined to the agonist muscle following strength training [PDF]
Purpose: We used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to determine the corticospinal responses from an agonist and synergist muscle following strength training of the right elbow flexors.

Effects of Respiratory Muscle Strength Training in Classically Trained Singers
Many voice pedagogy practices revolve around the notion of controlling airflow and lung volumes and focus heavily on the concepts of breath support and breath control. Despite this emphasis, the effects of increased respiratory muscle strength on airflow and phonation patterns in trained singers remain unknown.

ABDOMINAL CORE MUSCLE STRENGTH TRAINING IN WEIGHTLIFTERS
ABSTRACT Introduction: Lifting weights requires muscular capacity, strength, and determination. Strength training for weightlifters stimulates the nervous system and promotes muscle hypertrophy. Strength training is the most important point in weightlifters' training.

Muscle strength and muscle training after stroke
For many individuals who have experienced a stroke, muscle weakness is the most prominent impairment. Both the theoretical and statistical relationships between muscle weakness and performance at functional activities suggest that weakness may be an appropriate target for therapeutic interventions.
