44 Reviews were dissected to understand what are currently the important variables for Strength, Hypertrophy and Physical Function. Unfortunately, the topic of Physical Function got a lot of inconclusive results due to a lack of Data, therefore I’ll be skipping this one on this post. So let’s see ...
50 people started a 9 week program where they were randomly assigned between 1 of these 2 groups: Group 1: 9 weeks with week 5 being for “deload” Group 2: 9 weeks consistent, with no week off The results of the 39 people who completed the program showed ...
36 active individuals completed a program to discover whether or not a Resistance Training program based on High Load induced similar distribution of muscle hypertrophy among the hamstring heads when compared to Low Load combined with Blood Flow Restriction. Both groups alternated between 2 different training sessions a week, ...
38 adults, with, at least, 1 year of consistent lower body training completed an 8 week program to see which of the two produced better results: Group 1: Increased Weights while keeping the Rep Range consistent Group 2: Increased Reps while keeping the Weights consistent The Resistance Training ...
14 studies were included for this Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis for a total of 392 subjects. The main objective of this study was to see which of the two (Split vs Full-Body Routines) was superior for muscle strength, and muscle hypertrophy, when volume is equated. The results showed ...
Although caffeine is a social accepted drug, when consumed in high doses it may be toxic and produce several acute health problems. On the other hand, when consumed in very low doses, it may not give a significant impact to improve performance (and many times, overall being). Therefore, ...
This Study wanted to see which of two (Free-Weight vs. Machine-Based) training methods was better to improve Maximal Strength, Hypertrophy and Jump Performance. 1 ) Maximal Strength The free-weight group increased strength more when both groups were tested in free-weight exercises, and the machine group tended to increase ...
“A key barrier to further understanding the influence of proximity-to-failure on muscle hypertrophy is that no consensus definition for set failure exists in the literarture.” This is a problem because when different definitions are applied, we get different answers to the same question. “For Hypertrophy, is it better ...
