Neural Issues in the Control of Muscular Strength

Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2004
During the earliest stages of resistance exercise training, initial muscular strength gains occur too rapidly to be explained solely by muscle-based mechanisms. However; increases in surface-based EMG amplitude as well as motor unit discharge rate provide some insight to the existence of neural mechanisms in the earliest phases of resistance exercise ...

Muscular Coordination and Strength Training

Sports Medicine, 1988
Strength training is commonly used in the rehabilitation of muscles atrophied as a result of injury and/or disuse. Studies on the effects of conventional leg extension training in healthy subjects have shown the changes to be very task-specific to the training manoeuvre itself.

Effect of Reduced Training Frequency on Muscular Strength*

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 1988
Twenty-four men and 26 women (25 +/- 5 years) participating in 10 weeks (n = 27) and 18 weeks (n = 23) of variable resistance strength training programs were recruited to complete 12 weeks of reduced training. Training consisted of one set of 7-10 bilateral knee extensions performed to volitional failure.

Muscular Strength After Callotasis Limb Lengthening

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1995
Seven patients (average age, 9.2 years; range, 7.6-10.6 years) underwent collotasis lengthening of a congenital short femur. The isometric voluntary contraction strength of the knee extensor muscles was measured for each leg immediately before and at 6-month intervals for 2 years, starting from 2 months after the fixator was removed.

The Effects of Acute Heat Exposure on Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance, and Muscular Power in the Euhydrated Athlete

Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2002
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of acute heat exposure upon muscular strength, muscular endurance, and muscular power in euhydrated athletes. Ten healthy, weight-trained men (average age = 23.0 +/- 4.0 years) volunteered for this investigation.

Muscular strength and mental health.

Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 1983
The purpose of this study was to determine the relation between relative muscular strength and selected psychological traits of male college students. The Body Cathexis Scale, Eysenck Personality Inventory, and Tennessee Self-Concept Scale were employed to assess personality in 142 randomly selected subjects, and relative muscular strength was measured

Developing muscular strength and power

2017
Section 1 of Chapter 2 discusses muscular strength and power and their influence on an athlete’s performance. Morphological and neuromuscular factors that underpin muscular strength and power are explored to stress the importance of building physical characteristics in a sequenced manner.

The Effects of In-Season Strength Training on Muscular Strength Development

2017
The purpose of this study is to determine if an in-season strength training program will yield statistically significant improvement in muscular strength. This study used a pre-experimental design with a purposive sample. The twelve participants were selected from a junior varsity football team at a Baltimore County public high school.
