Neuromuscular junction instability and altered intracellular calcium handling as early determinants of force loss during unloading in humans
Key points Few days of unloading are sufficient to induce a decline of skeletal muscle mass
and function; notably, contractile force is lost at a faster rate than muscle mass. The reasons …

What makes long-term resistance-trained individuals so strong? A comparison of skeletal muscle morphology, architecture, and joint mechanics
TM Maden-Wilkinson, TG Balshaw… - Journal of applied …, 2020 - journals.physiology.org
The greater muscular strength of long-term resistance-trained (LTT) individuals is often
attributed to hypertrophy, but the role of other factors, notably maximum voluntary specific …
