A Critical Analysis of a Review on Strength Training in the Military

摘要

Carpinelli RN.A Critical Analysis of a Review on Strength Training in the Military. JEPonline 2013;16(2):70-81. This critical analysis challenges the validity of evidence cited in a review entitled Strength Training for the Warfighter. Most of the claims and recommendations in that review, especially regarding the size principle of motor unit recruitment, are not supported by resistance training studies. Rather than providing evidence based recommendations for strength training, that review is based primarily on unsubstantiated opinions.
