The rate of force development varies greatly across individuals. In the present review, we discuss the neuromechanical factors that explain this variability. The rate at which an individual can develop force during rapid voluntary contractions can be influenced by both the neural drive to a muscle and its intrinsic musculotendinous properties. We hypothesize that the maximal rate of force development across human individuals is mainly attributable to the rate of motor unit recruitment.
