A transition to a more efficient attentional strategy facilitates motor learning in the presence and absence of movement-evoked experimental pain. A cross-sectional experimental study.

David Matthews, Ali Khatibi, Deborah Falla

This study examines how movement-contingent pain affects motor learning and attentional allocation, finding similar performance improvements across groups despite pain presence.

Why humans are stronger but not faster after isometric strength training: specific neural, not muscular, motor unit adaptations

Alessandro Del Vecchio, A. Casolo, Jakob Lund Dideriksen…·Dario Farina

This study shows that isometric strength training increases maximal force but not rate of force development (RFD) due to unchanged motor unit recruitment speed, despite increased discharge rates during plateau phases.
