Strength Development
- Strength development involves neural adaptations, muscle changes, and connective tissue growth.
- These adaptations occur in all areas, especially early in training.
Individualized Adaptations
- Neural adaptations, muscle growth, and connective tissue changes vary among individuals.
- Genetic factors and training responses contribute to these variations.
Muscle Fiber Types
- Muscle fiber types include fast-twitch, slow-twitch, and hybrid fibers.
- Fiber type composition changes based on the type of training stimulus.
