Strength Gain

Meaning

Strength gain is the measurable increase in the maximal force or torque that a muscle or muscle group can generate against a resistance. Physiologically, this outcome is a result of both structural adaptations, such as muscle hypertrophy, and neurological adaptations, including enhanced motor unit recruitment and firing frequency. In the context of hormonal health, strength gain is a critical biomarker for the efficacy of anabolic hormones and overall musculoskeletal vitality.
