What the Evidence Shows

We analyzed the available evidence and found that training at 80% of maximum strength with low fatigue increases how often nerve signals fire to muscles, but this does not appear to change how those muscles are activated later during tired, low-intensity efforts at 30% of maximum strength [1]. The...
