Since air conditioning already so pervasive in New York City, adaptation
efforts may be at or
near their
maximum effectiveness, the researchers caution.
To improve the ability to generate
maximum force, the athlete does need to engage in both
maximum effort lifting (to improve absolute power peak and motor unit synchronization) and dynamic
effort lifting (to improve motor unit synchronization and speed of contraction), the former of which includes maximal or
near maximal stimulus, the latter of which includes lower weight (~ 50 - 60 % of
maximum) moved at
maximum velocity.
