Why Athletes Get Stronger: Neural Adaptations vs. Muscle Growth

Description: An athlete can become dramatically stronger before adding much measurable muscle—but how? This episode separates the neural adaptations that improve the nervous system’s ability to use existing muscle from the morphological adaptations that eventually increase the muscle’s size and force-producing potential. Understanding the difference will help you answer CSCS questions about motor-unit recruitment, rate coding, synchronization, hypertrophy, and the time course of resistance-training adaptations.
