It is generally accepted that neural factors play an important role in muscle strength gains.
This article reviews the neural adaptations in strength, with the goal of laying the foundations …

Fatigue is a common experience of individuals suffering from chronic illnesses. Mechanisms
responsible for fatigue may be central or peripheral. Central fatigue may result from proximal …

Drawing on the disciplines of neurophysiology and physics, Neuromechanics of Human
Movement, Fourth Edition, explores how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles …

Debate exists concerning the effect of contraction velocity on muscle damage, and few
human studies have yet to address this issue. This study examined whether the velocity of …

The present study compared two unilateral arm curl resistance exercise protocols with a
different starting and finishing elbow joint angle in the same ROM for changes in elbow …

OBJECTIVE: To present the properties of an eccentric contraction and compare
neuromuscular and muscle–tendon system adaptations induced by isotonic and isokinetic …

We compared the contribution of central and peripheral processes to muscle fatigue induced
in the ankle dorsiflexor muscles by tests performed during concentric (CON) and eccentric …

and eccentric overload strength training in young women. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 33 …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of repeated passive heat exposure (ie,
acclimation) on muscle contractility in humans. Fourteen nonheat-acclimated males …

Purpose The aim of the study was to use eccentric strength training of the plantar flexor
muscles to investigate the plasticity of the spinal reflexes during maximal voluntary isometric …
