The authors offer a response to a query made on their article "Changes in agonist neural drive, hypertrophy and pre-training strength all contribute to the individual strength gains after resistance training." The study aims to investigate whether there was a relationship between putative predictor/variables adaptations after resistance training (RT). The strength changes after RT were found to be correlated with hypertrophy and the changes in agonist neural drive and pre-training strength.
