Excerpt
Resistance training (RT) is widely prescribed for rehabilitation of injuries and as a method to improve athletic performance. The most significant result of RT is an increase in strength as a result of a complex interaction of muscular and neural components (Jones, et al. 1989). Previous research examining muscular adaptations has focused primarily on fiber cross-sectional area (CSA). The purpose of the present study was to analyze the effects of long-term RT on the contractility of Ca2+ -activated single muscle fibers obtained from young male subjects.
