Neuroplasticity following short‐term strength training occurs at supraspinal level and is specific for the trained task

This study demonstrated that short-term strength training induces specific neuroplasticity for the trained task only. The fact that MEPs were lower but H-reflex amplitudes remained unchanged at the onset of the trained tasks suggests that strength training elicited neuroplasticity at supraspinal level that most likely reflect an improved task-specific corticospinal efficiency.
