Abstract
The aim of the study was to compare the effect of resistance training (RT) frequencies of five times (RT5), thrice- (RT3) or twice- (RT2) weekly in muscle strength and hypertrophy in young men. Were used a within-subjects design in which 20 participants had one leg randomly assigned to RT5 and the other to RT3 or to RT2. 1 RM and muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) were assessed at baseline, after four (W4) and eight (W8) RT weeks. RT5 resulted in greater total training volume (TTV) than RT3 and RT2 (P = .001). 1 RM increased similarly between protocols at W4 (RT5: 55 ± 9 Kg, effect size (ES): 1.18; RT3: 51 ± 11 Kg, ES: 0.80; RT2: 54 ± 7 Kg, ES: 1.13; P < .0001) and W8 (RT5: 62 ± 11 Kg, ES: 1.81; RT3: 57 ± 11 Kg, ES: 1.40; RT2: 60 ± 8 Kg, ES: 1.98; P < .0001) vs. baseline (RT5: 45 ± 9 Kg; RT3: 42 ± 11 Kg; RT2: 46 ± 7 Kg). CSA increased similarly between protocols at W4 (RT5: 24.6 ± 3.9 cm2, ES: 0.54; RT3: 22.0 ± 4.6 cm2, ES: 0.19; RT2: ES: 0.25; 23.8 ± 3.8 cm2; P < .001), and W8 (RT5: 25.3 ± 4.3 cm2; ES: 0.69; RT3: 23.6 ± 4.2 cm2, ES: 0.58; RT2: 25.5 ± 3.7 cm2; ES: 0.70; P < .0001) vs. baseline (RT5: 22.5 ± 3.8 cm2; RT3: 21.2 ± 4.0 cm2; RT2: 22.9 ± 3.8 cm2). Performing RT5, RT3 and RT2 a week result in similar muscle strength inc...Continue Reading
