Neuromuscular adaptation in human thenar muscles following strength training and immobilization

The effects of strength training and limb immobilization on the human thenar muscles were investigated in 11 healthy subjects. One group (n = 6) trained prior to immobilization and a second group (n = 5) underwent immobilization prior to training. Measurements made in the control condition and following the two experimental conditions included voluntary isometric strength, motor-unit counts, motor nerve conduction velocity, reflex potentiation, …
