See how research on foam rolling after an intense strength training session aided in reducing DOMS and improving exercise recovery.
Curiosity about the connection (or lack thereof) between muscle hypertrophy (size) and strength has been around since as early as 1955. Though many people believe that long-term adaptations in strength depend upon gains in size, there is remarkably little evidence to support that. When a team of researchers examined the evidence last year, they found a weak correlation between changes in muscle size and muscle strength after training. That's not so surprising when you consider that muscle mass is lost during detraining, while strength often remains steady. Further, low-load and high-load resistance training each can trigger similar growth in muscular size, though the strength gains from each of these differ.
