摘要：Milosevic M, Milosevic M, Nemec P, Zivotic D, Izet R. A New Approach to Developing Human Maximal Muscular Force: A Case Study. JEPonline 2014;17(5):73-83. The aim of this study was to examined whether human maximal muscular force can be better developed using smaller or larger weights than the maximum. The screening/testing was performed on seven muscle groups based on measurements of a member of the Serbian National Basketball Team. The development of maximal force focused on, and was assessed according to, the following neuromuscular elements: (a) the maximal rate of force development, (b) synchronization and speed in the recruitment of motor units, (c) the maximal force of certain motor unit groups, (d) overall muscle density, (e) intramuscular coordination, and (f) intramuscular coordination through the application of lighter or heavier weights than the established maximum. The study consisted of 42 training sessions. Exercise performance and muscular potential were determined according to descriptive statistical analysis and data-fitting employing the least squares method. The training improvement yield with respect to initial measurement results ranged from 2.56 to 3.37 SD per muscle group or from 25 kg to 130 kg. The development of the potential maximum force per muscle group yielded results ranging from a 91.3% to 99.6% gain in performance. This can be compared to a previous 38% to 72% rate of gain in performance achieved earlier through maximal effort method of training. The obtained results confirm the hypothesis that maximum force can be better developed through the application of a new approach using smaller and larger weights than the previously established maximum or near maximum.
