Demonstrations that grip strength has predictive power in relation to a range of health
conditions—even when these are assessed decades later—has motivated claims that hand …

This review provides evidence for the hypothesis that electrostimulation strength training
(EST) increases the force of a maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) through neural …

Purpose Cross-education (CE) of strength is a well-known phenomenon whereby exercise
of one limb can induce strength gains in the contralateral untrained limb. The only available …

Aim: Strength training of one limb results in a substantial increase in the strength of the
untrained limb, however, it remains unknown what the corticospinal responses are following …

Repetitive, monotonic, and effortful voluntary muscle contractions performed for just a few
weeks, ie, resistance training, can substantially increase maximal voluntary force in the …

Background: In Unilateral (UNI) exercises are more effective than bilateral (BI) exercises in
improving athletic performance is debatable. Objectives: this meta-analysis investigated the …

Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of concentric and eccentric cross-
education (CE) on quadriceps strength and knee function recoveries after anterior cruciate …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of cross-education (contralateral effect of unilateral
strength training) during recovery from unilateral distal radius fractures on muscle strength …

Objectives: Unilateral resistance training produces strength gains in the untrained
homologous muscle group, an effect termed “cross-education.” The observed strength …

Background Cross-education refers to increased motor output (ie, force generation, skill) of
the opposite, untrained limb following a period of unilateral exercise training. Despite …
