TL;DR: Hypertrophy cannot alone justify the increase in torque, and other factors, such as an increase in individual fibre-specific tension (in the case of KE), a decrease in antagonist muscles' coactivation, an improved co-ordination and an increased neural drive of the other heads of quadriceps may have contributed to the increments in strength.

TL;DR: Older men seem to preserve a high VA of plantar flexors, however, the impaired functionality of the reflex pathway with aging and the lack of modulation with exercise suggest that the decrease in the H(max)- to M(max) ratio and H index may be related to degenerative phenomena.

TL;DR: Differences between voluntary and superimposed eccentric torques as well as lower agonist rms amplitude during eccentric action in S, support the possibility of the presence of a tension-regulating mechanism in sedentary subjects.

TL;DR: The influence of time of day on elbow flexion torque was studied in this article, where the authors made maximal and submaximal isometric contractions at 90 degrees of elbow flexors using a dynamometer.

TL;DR: The shorter the muscle length at which the training has been carried out, the more the gain was limited to the training angle, and an increase of the maximal integrated EMG of both biceps brachii and brachioradialis frequently accompanied the improvement of MVC at theTraining angle.
