Article Synopsis
  • The study compares the effects of free weight resistance training (RT) versus body mass-based RT on isometric muscular strength, muscle size, and intramuscular fat (IMF) content in the quadriceps femoris over an 8-week period.
  • Healthy individuals (ages 30-64) participated in either group, with both demonstrating increased muscle size but only the body mass-based RT group showing a significant decrease in IMF content.
  • The findings highlight that both training methods can promote muscle hypertrophy, but body mass-based RT may be more effective at reducing fat within the muscle.
