In this study we show that Eccentric overload training provided a more robust stimulus for longitudinal muscle remodelling than conventional resistance training.

In my paper Sample Size Justification I discuss 6 approaches to justifying sample sizes. The focus of the paper is to teach people the tools they need to be honest when they explain where their sample size comes from. I know, so radical ;) online.ucpress.edu/collabra/art...
