“…The persistence of strength and neuromuscular mechanisms following detraining in the present study is a novel finding in the field of cross education. Previous unilateral training studies (range 3-10 wk training), which examined cross education following a period of detraining (range 2-12 wk), all reported a loss in cross-education strength following detraining (Housh et al 1996a(Housh et al , 1996bHouston et al 1983;Narici et al 1989;Shaver 1975;Shima et al 2002;Slater-Hammel 1950;Weir et al 1997). Interestingly, the present study demonstrated a continued increase in contralateral strength following detraining.…”

We examined cross education of strength and skill following 6 wk of unilateral training and 6 wk of detraining. A novel finding was the continued increase in contralateral strength following both training and detraining. Neuromuscular adaptations were highly correlated with strength gains in the trained and contralateral limbs. Motor learning was evident in the trained and contralateral limbs during contractions performed without concurrent feedback.

“…1 Studies in the literature support this contention. [2][3][4] Patients with burns, fractures, or arthritis may be unable to exercise the involved limb and would benefit from the indirect approach of exercising the noninvolved limb in order to obtain contralateral muscle activity. To set up an adequate treatment program, the physical therapist should know how optimally to affect the weakened muscles in the nonexercised extremity.…”

Electromyography was used to determine the presence of electrical activity in the nonexercised latissimus dorsi, infraspinatus, and pectoralis major muscles while the contralateral limb underwent the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation pattern of flexion, abduction, external rotation with elbow straight and extension, adduction, internal rotation with elbow straight. Activity was present in all of these muscles during both components of the pattern. There was no significant difference in activity for the pectoralis major muscle during the flexor as compared to extensor component. The infraspinatus was more active during the flexor component, while the latissimus dorsi was more active during the extensor component. These results could be used in planning a treatment program for patients who are unable to exercise one of their upper extremities and who could benefit from the contralateral effects of upper extremity proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation patterns.

“…Three hundred thirty-nine strength training studies were published between 1894 and 1979 (1–4,7–19,22–45) (47–50,53–70,72–78) (80,82–92,94–107,110,111) (113–130,132–138,140–146) (149,150,152–157,159–170) (173–179,182,183,186–206,208) (210–233,235,237–244) (246–254,259–267) (271–280,282–288,295) (298–319,321–328) (330–359) (367–379,382) (383,385–394,396–399) (Figure 1). Three articles (0.9%) were published before 1940, 14 (4.1%) were published in the 1940s, 52 (15.3%) in the 1950s, 142 (41.9%) in the 1960s, and 128 (37.8%) in the 1970s.…”

Nuzzo, JL. History of strength training research in man: an inventory and quantitative overview of studies published in English between 1894 and 1979. J Strength Cond Res 35(5): 1425–1448, 2021—Limited scholarship exists on the history of strength training research. The current review advances existing qualitative and biographical work by inventorying all experimental studies and case reports published before 1980 on the effects of ≥1 week of strength training on human health and function. Data on authors, journals, citations, study samples, training interventions, study outcomes, and study themes were extracted and summarized. Three hundred thirty-nine strength training studies were published between 1894 and 1979. Studies included 14,575 subjects, with 10,350 undergoing strength training. Subjects were usually healthy (81.1% of articles), university students (51.0%), or aged 18–65 years (86.7%). Men comprised 70.0% of subjects. Interventions typically involved isoinertial only (64.6%) or isometric only (35.4%) training. Upper-body interventions were more common (35.4%) than lower-body interventions (27.4%). Duration and frequency of training were typically 4–8 weeks (55.3%) and 3 days per week (39.2%), respectively. Isometric maximal voluntary contractions (54.0%) and one repetition maximum (20.4%) were the most common muscle strength tests. Other common outcomes included limb girths (20.9%) and muscle endurance (19.5%). Common research themes were physiology (54.3%), physical fitness (28.9%), and injury/rehabilitation (20.4%). The 339 studies have been cited 21,996 times. Moritani and deVries' 1979 article on time course of neuromuscular adaptations is the most highly cited (1,815 citations). DeLorme (5 articles and 772 citations), Hellebrandt (4 articles and 402 citations), Rasch (9 articles and 318 citations), and Berger (12 articles and 1,293 citations) made the largest contributions. Research Quarterly published the most articles (27.4%). The history of strength training research is discussed in the context of the results.
