The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Importance of Muscular Strength in Athletic Performance (2016, background): “Previous studies that have examined training for maximal strength have reported changes in muscle architecture after 4–5 weeks [271, 272] and increased tendon stiffness after 9–10 weeks [273, 274].”
Developing Maximal Neuromuscular Power (2011, background): “Whole muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) would be considerably greater([35-56]) as a result of increased myofibrillar CSA of type I and, to a greater degree, type II fibres.”
From space to Earth: advances in human physiology from 20 years of bed rest studies (1986–2006) (2007, result): “…training in promoting muscle hypertrophy (potentially representing an effective means for combating atrophy), is also confirmed by a recent study of Seynnes et al. (2007) which showed significant quadriceps hypertrophy after only 3 weeks of resistive training and even earlier changes (within 10…”
Developing Maximal Neuromuscular Power (2011, background): “Training studies have reported fascicle length to increase in response to resistance training with heavy loads,([142,162-164]) resistance training with light loads,([165]) as well as in subjects who ceased strength training and performed jump and sprint training.”
