A critical analysis of a review on strength training in the military

This critical analysis challenges the validity of evidence cited in a review entitled Strength Training for the Warfighter. Most of the claims and recommendations in that review, especially regarding the size principle of motor unit recruitment, are not supported by resistance training studies. Rather than providing evidence based recommendations for strength training, that review is based primarily on unsubstantiated opinions. Key Words: Resistance Training, Size Principle, Motor Units
