TLDR
Gains in maximal torque, Pmax and VImax observed after training would result more from intramuscular modifications than from changes in muscular activity, except for eccentric condition at -30 degrees s(-1) where the torque gains could also be partly explained by a reduction in inhibition of the motor unit pool.About:

Entraînement à l'effort au cours des pathologies cardiovasculaires
TL;DR: L'entrainement influe egalement sur l'evolution des facteurs de risque au premier rang desquels, le diabete and l'hypertension arterielle, a la fois en prevention primaire and secondaire.

Specificity of strength gains after 12 weeks of isokinetic eccentric training in healthy men
Clarice Sperotto dos Santos Rocha,Clarice Sperotto dos Santos Rocha,Bruno Manfredini Baroni,Fábio Juner Lanferdini,Cíntia de la Rocha Freitas,Viviane Bortoluzzi Frasson,Marco Aurélio Vaz +6 more
TL;DR: Isokinetic eccentric training significantly increased the knee extensor torque at the training velocity and at the adjacent velocities, demonstrating the specificity of strength gains.

Inertial Training Improves Strength, Balance, and Gait Speed in Elderly Nursing Home Residents
TL;DR: Benefits from inertial training can reduce the risk of falls and increase the safety and independence of the elderly, and strongly recommend a daily routine of inertialTraining for older adults.
Journal Article
A cross-sectional study comparing strength profile of dorsal and palmar flexor muscles of the wrist in epicondylitis and healthy men.
C. Unyó,Joaquim Chaler,Mónica Rojas-Martínez,E. Pujol,B. Muller,R. Garreta,Miguel Angel Mañanas +6 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate that muscle imbalances and fatigability might be related to lateral epicondylitis, and both palmar flexor force and palmar/dorsal ratio in eccentric exercise were significantly higher in patients.

TL;DR: The maximal torque and power developed by the dominant and nondominant arms in the 0-kg and 5-kg groups were significantly greater after 4 wk of inertial training and the ITMS training-induced changes in older women are greater after application of smaller external loads.

The heat of shortening and the dynamic constants of muscle
TL;DR: In this article, a more accurate and rapid technique for muscle heat measurement was proposed, and some astonishingly simple and accurate relations have been found, which determine the effect of load on speed of shortening, allow the form of the isometric contraction to be predicted, and are the basis of the so-called "visco-elasticity" of skeletal muscle.

Aging of skeletal muscle: a 12-yr longitudinal study

TL;DR: It is suggested that a quantitative loss in muscle CSA is a major contributor to the decrease in muscle strength seen with advancing age and accounts for 90% of the variability in strength at T2.

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.

TL;DR: Measurement of leg extensor power in frail elderly people may prove useful in focusing effective rehabilitation programmes because of the relation within the group between age and any of the variables measured.
