The purpose of this study is to examine neural adaptations resulting from a single-session of resistance exercise training. It was hypothesized that the neural adaptations will be observed following a single session of resistance exercise training. The research indicates increased neuromuscular efficiency following a single session of resistance training can be observed in the agonist muscle during CON activation. This improved efficiency is attributed to neural activation rather than to muscle hypertrophy. This information must be considered when interpreting data of subjects who have performed multiple trials in various conditions in the laboratory. Our results may provide alternative training for athletes to improve their performance within a short period of time.
