Why humans are stronger but not faster after isometric strength training: specific neural, not muscular, motor unit adaptations

2021-03-22

Abstract excerpt

While maximal force increases following short-term isometric strength training, the rate of force development (RFD) may remain relatively unaffected. The underlying neural and muscular mechanisms during rapid contractions after strength training are largely unknown. Since strength training increases the neural drive to muscles, it may be hypothesized that there are distinct neural or muscular adaptations determini...
