35、ry LifeD Anyone who has worn a cast (石膏) knows that rebuilding muscle strength once the cast is removed can be difficult.

However, the nervous system is also an important, though not fully understood, determining factor of stren
37、gth and weakness. Brian C. Clark and colleagues set out to test how the system functions in strength development.

38、ow (肘) past the fingers, effectively preventing the hand and wrist from moving, for four weeks. Fifteen subjects who did not wear casts served as the control group.
