Neural
Isometric elbow flexion strength was greater for the internal focus group, while isometric knee extension strength was greater for the external focus group.
Different focus strategies may be employed to target specific strength adaptations.
StrongQualifiesmedium confidence
Isometric elbow flexion strength was greater for INTERNAL while isometric knee extension strength was greater for EXTERNAL, although neither reached statistical significance.
Why this rating
