The mechanisms of muscle hypertrophy and their application to resistance training.
TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to extensively review the literature as to the mechanisms of muscle hypertrophy and their application to exercise training and to draw conclusions from the research as toThe optimal protocol for maximizing muscle growth.

Changes in agonist-antagonist EMG, muscle CSA, and force during strength training in middle-aged and older people
Keijo Häkkinen,Mauri Kallinen,Mikel Izquierdo,Kirsi Jokelainen,Helka Lassila,Esko Mälkiä,William J. Kraemer,Robert U. Newton,Markku Alen +8 more
TL;DR: Great training-induced gains in maximal and explosive strength in both middle-aged and elderly subjects were accompanied by large increases in the voluntary activation of the agonists, with significant reductions in the antagonist coactivation in the elderly subjects.

Effects of resistance exercise combined with moderate vascular occlusion on muscular function in humans
Yudai Takarada,Haruo Takazawa,Yoshiaki Sato,Shigeo Takebayashi,Yasuhiro Tanaka,Naokata Ishii +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that resistance exercise at an intensity even lower than 50% 1 RM is effective in inducing muscular hypertrophy and concomitant increase in strength when combined with vascular occlusion.

A mechanism for increased contractile strength of human pennate muscle in response to strength training: changes in muscle architecture.
Per Aagaard,Jesper L. Andersen,Poul Dyhre-Poulsen,Anne-Mette Leffers,Aase Wagner,S. Peter Magnusson,J Halkjaer-Kristensen,Erik B. Simonsen +7 more
TL;DR: The present data suggest that the morphology, architecture and contractile capacity of human pennate muscle are interrelated, in vivo, and this interaction seems to include the specific adaptation responses evoked by intensive resistance training.

Motor training induces experience-specific patterns of plasticity across motor cortex and spinal cord
DeAnna L. Adkins,Jeffery A. Boychuk,Jeffery A. Boychuk,Michael S. Remple,Jeffrey A. Kleim,Jeffrey A. Kleim +5 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the acquisition of skilled movement induces a reorganization of neural circuitry within motor cortex that supports the production and refinement ofskilled movement sequences, showing the robust pattern of anatomic and physiological plasticity that occurs within the corticospinal system in response to differential motor experience.

Design and Analysis - A Researcher's Handbook
TL;DR: Within-subject and mixed designs of Factorial Design have been studied in this article, where the Principal Two-Factor Within-Factor Effects and Simple Effects have been used to estimate the effect size and power of interaction components.

Strength conditioning in older men: skeletal muscle hypertrophy and improved function.
TL;DR: Strength gains in older men were associated with significant muscle hypertrophy and an increase in myofibrillar protein turnover and the torque-velocity relationship showed an upward displacement of the curve at the end of training, mainly in the slow-vel velocity high-torque region.

Neural adaptation to resistance training.
TL;DR: The possible mechanisms of neural adaptation are discussed in relation to motor unit recruitment and firing patterns and the relative roles of neural and muscular adaptation in short- and long-term strength training are evaluated.

Changes in force, cross-sectional area and neural activation during strength training and detraining of the human quadriceps
TL;DR: Hypertrophy produced by strength training accounts for 40% of the increase in force while the remaining 60% seems to be attributable to an increased neural drive and possibly to changes in muscle architecture.
