Central Nervous System Training

Meaning

Central Nervous System Training is a deliberate, targeted exercise strategy focused on enhancing the brain and spinal cord’s capacity to generate, coordinate, and transmit efferent neural signals. This type of training prioritizes neurological efficiency and maximal motor unit recruitment over purely metabolic or structural stress. Optimizing the central drive is foundational for increasing absolute strength and power expression before significant muscle hypertrophy occurs. It represents the initial and most potent adaptation phase in a strength program.
