TL;DR: Why it might be unwise to conduct meta-analyses with such heterogeneous RT studies noting the effects of different confounding RT variables are explained, and it is suggested that it may be irresponsible to make general estimates of RT effects and propose recommendations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a set of scientifically rigorous resistance training guidelines, reviewing and summarising the relevant research for the purpose of proposing more logical, evidence-based training advice.

TL;DR: An overview of the ambiguity in historical terminology around set endpoints is provided and a clearer set of definitions related to set end points are proposed in the hope this may permit greater clarity in reporting, interpretation, and application of RT interventions for researchers and practitioners.

TL;DR: It is the opinion is that the practical implications of being able to self-select external load include reducing the need for specific facility memberships, motivating older persons or those who might be less confident using heavy loads, and allowing people to undertake home- or field-based resistance training intervention strategies that might ultimately improve exercise adherence.

TL;DR: Supervised training, walking/running/jogging, age (<30 years), study quality and intervention duration (<12 weeks) favourably influence the decreases in total absolute fat mass observed from interval training programmes; however, no significant effect was found on total body fat percentage.
