Increased strength is the enhanced ability of muscles to exert force, leading to improved lifting capacity, increased repetitions, and greater power output. This results from muscle growth, improved neural drive, and efficient muscle activation.
Increased strength signifies an improvement in a muscle's capacity to exert force. This manifests through various means such as lifting heavier weights (increased one-repetition maximum), performing more repetitions at a specific weight, or enhancing power output (force multiplied by velocity). The underlying mechanisms include muscle fiber hypertrophy (growth), amplified neural drive to muscles, improved motor unit recruitment and synchronization, and reduced co-activation of antagonist muscles. The specific type of strength gained (maximal strength, power, muscular endurance) is dictated by the training stimulus.
