Background Progressive overload is a principle of resistance training exercise program design that typically relies on increasing load to increase neuromuscular demand facilitate further adaptations. However, little attention has been given another way demand—increasing the number repetitions. Objective This study aimed compare effects two programs: (1) while keeping repetition range constant vs (2) repetitions constant. We these programs lower body muscle hypertrophy, strength, and...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate differences in changes muscle strength and thickness (MT) the plantar flexor muscles between traditional resistance training (RT) involving passive rest RT combined with inter-set stretch calf raise exercise. Employing a within-subject design, 21 young, healthy men performed flexion exercises twice per week both (TRAD) format 20-second (STRETCH). One leg randomly assigned TRAD condition contralateral STRETCH throughout 8-week period. Dependent...
Objectives: To conduct a systematic review and multilevel meta-analysis of the current literature as to effects interval training (IT) vs moderate intensity continuous (MICT) on measures body composition, both whole-body regional level. Design: Systematic meta-analysis. Data sources: English-language searches PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, CINAHL conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Eligibility criteria for selecting studies: a) randomized controlled trials that directly compared IT MICT...
The purpose of this study was to improve our understanding the relative contributions biomechanical, anthropometric, and psychological factors in explaining maximal bench press (BP) strength a heterogeneous, resistance-trained sample. Eighteen college-aged participants reported laboratory for three visits. first visit consisted psychometric testing. second assessed participants' anthropometrics, additional outcomes, one repetition maximum (1RM). Participants performed isometric dynamometry...
This study aimed to develop a reliable, comprehensive and fit-for-purpose tool for classifying ovarian hormone profiles (OHPs) (step one of two-step process) in postmenarcheal perimenopausal female athletes.
