Biasing MCTS with Features for General Games [PDF]
, 2019 This paper proposes using a linear function approximator, rather than a deep neural network (DNN), to bias a Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS) player for general games. This is unlikely to match the potential raw playing strength of DNNs, but has advantages

Task‐specific strength increases after lower‐limb compound resistance training occurred in the absence of corticospinal changes in vastus lateralis [PDF]
, 2020 Neural adaptations subserving strength increases have been shown to be task‐specific, but responses and adaptation to lower‐limb compound exercises such as the squat are commonly assessed in a single‐limb isometric task.

Comparison of upper body strength gains between men and women after 10 weeks of resistance training [PDF]
, 2016 Resistance training (RT) offers benefits to both men and women. However, the studies about the differences between men and women in response to an RT program are not conclusive and few data are available about upper body strength response.

Strength-training and biological rhythm of male sex hormone among judoists [PDF]
, 2014 Testosterone is a steroid hormone that is secreted by the testes with a diurnal rhythm and has a strong anti-catabolic (anabolic) effect on muscles. There is a strong relationship (r > 0.9) between concentrations of testosterone in the saliva and blood ...

Assessing strength and power in resistance training [PDF]
, 2009 Maximal Dynamic Strength is usually assessed either by the one repetition maximum test (1-RM) or by a repetition maximum test with submaximal loads, which requires the application of a formula to estimate the value of 1-RM.
