Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Low- vs. High-Load Resistance Training on Muscle Strength and Hypertrophy in Well-Trained Men.

TL;DR: It is indicated that both HL and LL training to failure can elicit significant increases in muscle hypertrophy among well-trained young men; however, HL training is superior for maximizing strength adaptations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resistance Training Volume Enhances Muscle Hypertrophy but Not Strength in Trained Men.

TL;DR: Marked increases in strength and endurance can be attained by resistance-trained individuals with just three 13-min weekly sessions over an 8-wk period, and these gains are similar to that achieved with a substantially greater time commitment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of different volume-equated resistance training loading strategies on muscular adaptations in well-trained men.

TL;DR: It was showed that both bodybuilding- and powerlifting-type training promote similar increases in muscular size, but power lifting- type training is superior for enhancing maximal strength.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of maturation on adaptations to strength training and detraining in 11-15-year-olds

TL;DR: Maintenance programs are needed for most aspects of explosive performance following strength training before the growth spurt and for sprint speed after the growthSpurt.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of Resistance Training Frequency on Muscular Adaptations in Well-Trained Men

TL;DR: The findings suggest a potentially superior hypertrophic benefit to higher weekly resistance training frequencies, as shown in results showed significantly greater increases in forearm flexor MT for TOTAL compared with SPLIT.
