Moderators of strength gains and hypertrophy in resistance training: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

This meta-analysis investigated the role of resistance training (RT) moderators on strength and muscle mass gains in untrained young (YG) and older (OG) adults. Electronic databases were searched for randomised controlled trials simultaneously assessing muscle strength and mass. Effect sizes (ES) reflecting improvements in strength and muscle mass were found for all moderators in YG and OG (ES 0.

Resistance training to reduce resting blood pressure and increase muscle strength in users and non-users of anti-hypertensive medication: A meta-analysis.

The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review with meta-analysis to analyze the effect of resistance training variables prescription on resting systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and muscle strength changes. The search was conducted in the PubMed, Web of Science, and SPORTDiscus databases until August 2020 for randomized controlled trials with non-exercising control group. In total, 36 studies qualified for inclusion in this meta-analysis.

Twelve weeks of resistance training performed with different number of sets: Effects on maximal strength and resting blood pressure of individuals with hypertension.

This study aimed to verify the effect of resistance training performed with single (SET1) or three sets (SET3) on muscle strength and resting blood pressure (BP) of individuals with hypertension. BP was also assessed during knee extension exercise with submaximal load before and after training. Thirty-eight patients with hypertension were randomly assigned to a control group (CON: n = 12; 55.

Effects of order of resistance training exercises on muscle hypertrophy in young adult men.

The purpose of the present study was to analyze the effects of the order of resistance training (RT) exercises on hypertrophy in young adult men. Thirty-six young adult men (age, 21.9 ± 2.
