The initial increases in force production with resistance training are thought to be primarily
underpinned by neural adaptations. This notion is firmly supported by evidence displaying …

Tendinopathy can be resistant to treatment and often recurs, implying that current treatment
approaches are suboptimal. Rehabilitation programmes that have been successful in terms …

Key points Previous studies have indicated that several weeks of strength training is
sufficient to elicit significant adaptations in the neural drive sent to the muscles. There are …

Background Few interventions reduce patellar tendinopathy (PT) pain in the short term.
Eccentric exercises are painful and have limited effectiveness during the competitive …

Sex hormone concentrations of eumenorrheic women typically fluctuate across the
menstrual cycle and can affect neural function such that estrogen has neuroexcitatory …

Objective: This study aimed to compare the immediate analgesic effects of 2 resistance
programs in in-season athletes with patellar tendinopathy (PT). Resistance training is …

The clinical success of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for neuromuscular
rehabilitation is greatly compromised by the poor consideration of different physiological and …

Background Resistance-training causes changes in the central nervous system (CNS);
however, the sites of these adaptations remain unclear. Objective To determine sites of …

Resistance training enhances muscular force due to a combination of neural plasticity and
muscle hypertrophy. It has been well documented that the increase in strength over the first …

We tested the hypothesis that the nervous system, and the cortex in particular, is a critical
determinant of muscle strength/weakness and that a high level of corticospinal inhibition is …
