Figure 1.

Experimental setup (A) and strength testing and training schedules (B). Vertical lines in (B) indicate time in weeks, with the thin lines representing odd numbers and thick lines even numbers in the training period. Each thick vertical line also indicates a strength measurement (during-training strength measures were used to adjust training intensity). Note there were 3 strength measuremnts in the 3 week-pretraining period to obtain a truce baseline strength value.
