Since increases in neural drive at short muscle lengths are likely driven by reductions in motor unit recruitment threshold (Pasquet et al. 2005), while increases in neural drive at faster velocities and during concentric contractions are primarily caused by increased rate coding (Pasquet et al. 2006; Harwood et al. 2011; Enoka & Duchateau, 2017), the transfer of neural drive from partial exercises using short muscle lengths could be lower than we might expect, although this would probably depend on whether the strength training exercise was performed with a lighter load, and explosively.
