• Maximal strength training : the impact of eccentric overload 

      Tøien, Tiril; Haglo, Håvard Pedersen; Unhjem, Runar Jakobsen; Hoff, Jan; Wang, Eivind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)
      The search for the most potent strength training intervention is continuous. Maximal strength training (MST) yields large improvements in force-generating capacity (FGC), largely attributed to efferent neural drive ...
    • Maximal strength training improves strength performance in grapplers 

      Øvretveit, Karsten; Tøien, Tiril (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The aim of this study was to assess the short-term effects of maximal strength training (MST) as an accessory to grappling training on strength performance in competitive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) athletes. Fourteen male ...
    • Maximal strength training-induced increase in efferent neural drive is not reflected in relative protein expression of SERCA 

      Tøien, Tiril; Haglo, Håvard Pedersen; Nyberg, Stian Kwak; Rao, Shalini Vasudev; Stunes, Astrid Kamilla; Mosti, Mats Peder; Wang, Eivind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Introduction Maximal strength training (MST), performed with heavy loads (~ 90% of one repetition maximum; 1RM) and few repetitions, yields large improvements in efferent neural drive, skeletal muscle force production, and ...
