Abstract

Studies have shown that periodic variations in the strength training configuration are more efficient for promoting muscle strength in comparison to training that does not vary over time. Although the evidences point the superiority of the varied training, it’s not clear how the processes that influence the force production are affected when training is performed using variation through the time. The present study aims to discuss the central and peripheral mechanisms that influence the process of force production and to generate insights for new investigations that aim to compare the strength development between the varied and non-varied strength training programs.
