Effects of acute resistance training modality on corticospinal excitability, intra-cortical and neuromuscular responses

Although neural adaptations from strength training are known to occur, the acute responses associated with heavy-strength (HST) and hypertrophy training (HYT) remain unclear. Therefore, we aimed to compare the acute behaviour of corticospinal responses following a single session of HST vs HYT over a 72-h period. Fourteen participants completed a random counterbalanced, crossover study that consisted of a single HST session [5 sets × 3 repetition...
