FACTORS INFLUENCING THE MUSCULAR STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT, AS A RESULT OF SPORTS TRAINING

Abstract

The natural question coming to the mind of any theorist, but especially of any
practitioner, is: “how is it possible to initiate, support and optimize an action involving a more
or less important strength effort?”
By taking into account the functionality of the system that meets this desideratum,
there aren’t too many answers, the final solution keeping to many factors: a structural factor,
related to the muscle intimate composition, a nervous factor, that refers to the motor unit way
of functioning and using, and a spatial factor which, depending on the movement amplitude,
is or is not able to sustain a certain motion. Beside these ones, the factors influencing the
muscular strength development, as a result of sports training, are also particularly important.
And, to have a complete image of them, they will be related to other factors, such as the
practitioner’s age, gender and diet.
