Maximal strength training-induced improvements in forearm work efficiency are associated with reduced blood flow

Maximal strength training (MST) improves work efficiency. However, since blood flow is greatly dictated by muscle contractions in arms during exercise and vascular conductance is lower, it has been indicated that arms rely more upon adapting oxygen …

Similar scaling of contralateral and ipsilateral cortical responses during graded unimanual force generation

Hemibody movements are strongly considered as being under the control of the contralateral hemisphere of the cerebral cortex. However, some neuroimaging studies have found a bilateral activation of either the primary sensori-motor (SM1) areas or the …
