TL;DR: The number of sets functions up to a point as a stimulus for increased hormonal concentrations in order to optimize adaptations with MH and SE protocols, and has no effect on a MS protocol.

TL;DR: The above data show that soccer training alone improves more than normal growth maximum strength of the lower limps and agility, but the addition of resistance training improves more maximalstrength of the upper and the lower body, vertical jump height, and 30-m speed.

TL;DR: It is indicated that a combined training program of strength and aerobic exercise could induce positive adaptations on glucose control, insulin action, muscular strength and exercise tolerance in women with type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: It is suggested that overweight and obesity are limiting factors for fitness performance in primary schoolchildren and interventions promoting children’s health should, ideally, begin early in life and involve measures that simultaneously improve fitness and lower fatness.

TL;DR: Results indicate that resistance training may be able to increase range of motion of a number of joints of inactive older individuals possibly due to an improvement in muscle strength.
