1. Six weeks of a dynamic heavy-resistance training of the quadriceps muscle in healthy young men resulted in a continuous increase in muscle strength, in an increase in muscle cross-sectional area (significant only in the second half of the training period) and in an increase in radiological density of the muscle tissue of 3.1% (2P less than 0.001) in the first three weeks and 1.6% (2P less than 0.01) in the second three weeks. 2. The linear distance between myosin filaments (38.7 +/- 0.3 nm before, 38.7 +/- 0.4 nm after training; mean +/- S.E.M.) as well as the ratio of actin to myosin filaments (3.94 +/- 0.03 before, 3.86 +/- 0.06 after training) did not change with training. 3. These results refute the concept that the increases in muscle strength or radiological density during short-term heavy-resistance training are caused by changes in myofilament spacing.
