The Claim
Incorporating neurophysiological assessments into resistance training programs designed to maximize muscle hypertrophy may enhance the understanding of how neural drive interacts with muscular adaptations.
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
If you're trying to build muscle with weight training, checking how your nerves talk to your muscles might help explain why some workouts work better than others.

Resistance training programs designed to maximize muscle hypertrophy may benefit from incorporating neurophysiological assessments to better understand how neural drive interacts with muscular adaptations.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: The role of the neural stimulus in regulating skeletal muscle hypertrophy
The study says we shouldn’t just look at muscles when trying to build them—we should also measure how the brain and nerves are telling muscles to work, because that affects growth too.
