Early skeletal muscle hypertrophy and architectural changes in response to high-intensity resistance training. (2007, methodology): “RESISTANCE TRAINING INDUCES neural and muscular adaptations (2, 21, 29, 31, 33).”
Developing Maximal Neuromuscular Power (2011, background): “Extensive research has established that heavy strength training is a very effective stimulus for eliciting a hypertrophic response inmuscle.([87,109,112,124,129,131,142,143]) Traininginduced increases in CSA or Fmax are typically accompanied by improvements in maximal muscular power.”
American College of Sports Medicine position stand. Progression models in resistance training for healthy adults. (2011, background): “Several investigators have trained individuals between 30 and 300°·s 1 and reported significant increases in muscular strength (41,60,123,133,144,182,191,250).”
The Importance of Muscular Strength: Training Considerations (2018, neutral): “Further literature suggested that muscle CSA increases and muscle architecture alterations may account for approximately 50–60% of the changes in force production following short-term RT [24], albeit with relatively untrained subjects.”
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, background): “Also, angiotensin II has been shown to affect both sympathetic and neuromuscular transmission, and may thus be involved in the well known influence of neural adaptations to strength training (Narici et al. 1989) or disuse.”
