Understanding Muscle Resensitization

Muscle resensitization refers to the process in which muscles regain sensitivity to training stimuli after a period of reduced stimulus. It's important because as individuals progress in their training, they experience adaptive resistance, where their muscles become less responsive to consistent training challenges. Key terms like 'primer phases' and insights from research, such as that by Agassawara, play significant roles in understanding the nuances of this phenomenon. Resensitization provides potential avenues for improving muscle growth and cultivating effective training strategies, particularly for advanced athletes who may struggle to see consistent gains.
