Neural
The athlete increased horizontal force (F H) in his weak leg by 26% after a targeted training program.
Targeted strength training can effectively increase force production in weaker limbs.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Following a 6-wk control block of testing, a 6-wk targeted training program was added to the athlete’s strength-training regimen...the athlete increased F H (standardized effect [ES] = 2.2; +26%) in his weak leg.
Why this rating
Based on the case study design and clear pre-post measurements.
