Hopefully this paper sheds light on how difficult it can be to interpret potential changes in motor unit properties as a function of resistance training. Also, there are far less total subjects included in this research than you would expect.

Dear @JAMAPediatrics,
So jumping rope, climbing trees and gymnastics are safe for kids, but weight lifting is "not appropriate" because the strain is too high?

I believe some motor unit researchers will find this helpful. https://t.co/cx2ey14yo7

[Experimental Brain Research @ExpBrainRes]

Females have smaller muscle cross-sectional area and lower maximal voluntary contraction strength than males, yet differ in motor unit firing properties only during high, but not low, intensity contractions. Open Access Link: https://t.co/34ax0DtqC6

@Dr_DeFreitas @MattStockPhD @UCF @DrXin_Ye @OleMissRebels @okstate @RobJMacLennan @JHSarabia @NickCokerUCF I'm jealous, but looking forward to the day I get to review this study!!

[Dr. Trent Herda @KU_NeuroMechLab]

@SimonWalkerPhD @MathewPiasecki Yes decomposition is plausible for those types of contractions. You might want to refer to some recent publications from @AlecsDelVecchio
