Fatigue and Motor Unit Activation Are Determined by Neither Load Nor Time Under Tension During Resistance Exercise

Abstract

Recent evidence has established that repetition load determines neither acute rates of muscle protein synthesis or resistance training‐induced hypertrophy. Our objective was to extend on these findings by examining if skeletal muscle hypertrophy following resistance exercise training is instead determined by the degree of motor unit activation. Ten recreationally active young men (mean ± SD; 21 ± 3 y, 177 ± 6 cm, 82 ± 9 kg) completed three sets …
