Purpose Resistance training using different ranges of motion may produce varying effects on musclular adaptations. The purpose this study was to compare the lengthened partial repetitions (LPs) vs . full range (ROM) resistance (RT) muscular Methods In within-participant study, thirty healthy, resistance-trained participants had their upper extremities randomly assigned either a or ROM condition; all other variables were equivalent between limbs. RT intervention an 8-week program targeting...
Exercise technique, defined as the controlled execution of bodily movements to ensure an exercise effectively targets specific muscle groups while minimizing risk injury, is a resistance training (RT) variable frequently highlighted critical successful RT program outcomes, with proper technique suggested play role in maximizing development. This study examined effects externally applied momentum on RT-induced muscular adaptations upper extremities. Thirty young adults were recruited...
Background: Since many people choose to perform resistance training unsupervised, and a lack of supervision within strength is reported result in inadequate workout quality, we aimed compare outcomes for with without supervision. Methods: A systematic review meta-analysis were performed performance/functional and/or body composition measurements. Results: 12 studies included the review; 301 276 participants supervised unsupervised groups, respectively. The main model all performance/function...
Background Based on emerging evidence that brief periods of cessation from resistance training (RT) may re-sensitize muscle to anabolic stimuli, we aimed investigate the effects a 1-week deload interval at midpoint 9-week RT program muscular adaptations in resistance-trained individuals. Methods Thirty-nine young men ( n = 29) and women 10) were randomly assigned 1 2 experimental, parallel groups: An experimental group abstained for week 9-week, high-volume (DELOAD) or traditional performed...
Public health guidelines for resistance training emphasize a minimal effective dose intending individuals to engage in these behaviors long term. However, few studies have adequately examined the longitudinal time-course of strength adaptations training. Purpose: The aim this study was examine development from minimal-dose large sample through retrospective records private international exercise company. Methods: Data were available analysis 14,690 participants (60% female; aged 48 ± 11...
Abstract Androulakis-Korakakis, P, Langdown, L, Lewis, A, Fisher, JP, Gentil, Paoli, and Steele, J. Effects of exercise modality during additional “high-intensity interval training” on aerobic fitness strength in powerlifting strongman athletes. J Strength Cond Res 32(2): 450–457, 2018—Powerlifters athletes have a necessity for optimal levels muscular while maintaining sufficient capacity to perform recover between events. High-intensity training (HIIT) has been popularized its efficacy...
The present study looked to examine reduced volume 'daily max' (near max loads) training compared higher periodized in powerlifters preparing for competition. Ten competitive were split into 2 groups (MAX group and PER group) participated a 10-week intervention either following "daily max" protocol or traditional while All participants underwent 1RM testing squat (SQ), bench press (BP) deadlift (DL) prior the intervention. MAX performed single sets of repetitions using load equating an RPE...
The purpose of this paper was to systematically review the literature regarding effects resistance training (RT) performed at longer-muscle length (LML) versus shorter-muscle (SML) on proxy measurements for longitudinal hypertrophy. We included studies that satisfied following criteria: (1) be a intervention with comparison LML vs SML-RT; (2) assess both fascicle (FL) and muscle size pre- post-intervention; (3) involve healthy adults aged ≥ 18 years; (4) published in an English-language...
Prolonged periods in microgravity (μG) environments result deconditioning of numerous physiological systems, particularly muscle at molecular, single fiber, and whole levels. This leads to loss strength cardiorespiratory fitness. Loading produces mechanical tension with resultant mechanotransduction initiating molecular signaling that stimulates adaptations muscle. Exercise can reverse from phases detraining, de-loading, or immobilization. On Earth, applications loading using exercise models...
Objectives: The accepted wisdom within resistance training is that differing loads and corresponding repetition maximum (RM) ranges are optimal for inducing specific adaptations. For example, prominent organizations their respective publications have typically prescribed heavy maximal strength increases ( ≥ 85% 1RM/ ≤ 6RM), more moderate hypertrophy (67-85% 1RM/6-12RM) lighter local muscular endurance (LME; 67% 12RM). Since we believe these recommendations originate from a misunderstanding...
In resistance training, the use of predicting proximity to momentary task failure (MF, i.e., maximum effort), and repetitions in reserve scales specifically, is a growing approach monitoring controlling effort. However, its validity reliant upon accuracy ability predict MF which may be affected by congruence perception effort compared with actual required. The present study examined participants at least 1 year training experience their two different experiments using deception design....
Deloading refers to a purposeful reduction in training demand with the intention of enhancing preparedness for successive cycles. Whilst deloading is common practice strength and physique sports, little known about how necessary should be accomplished. Therefore, purpose this research was determine current practices competitive sports. Eighteen coaches from range sports (weightlifting, powerlifting, bodybuilding) participated semi-structured interviews discuss their experiences deloading....
The aim of this multi-experiment paper was to explore the concept minimum effective training dose (METD) required increase 1-repetition-maximum (1RM) strength in powerlifting (PL) athletes. METD refers least amount elicit meaningful increases 1RM strength. A series five studies utilising mixed methods, were conducted using PL athletes & coaches all levels an attempt better understand for are: interview study with elite and highly experienced (n = 28), survey 137), two intervention...
Deloading is a ubiquitous yet under-researched strategy within strength and physique training. How deloading should be integrated into the training programme to elicit optimal outcomes unknown. To aid its potential integration, this study established consensus around design principles for integrating in programmes using expert opinion practical experience.Expert coaches were invited an online Delphi consisting of 3 rounds. Thirty-four completed first round, 29 second 21 third round...
