Purpose The aim of this umbrella review was to determine the impact of resistance training
(RT) and individual RT prescription variables on muscle mass, strength, and physical …

Increasing muscle strength and cross-sectional area is of crucial importance to improve or
maintain physical function in musculoskeletal rehabilitation and sports performance …

Maximal strength measured via maximal voluntary contraction is known as a key factor in
competitive sports performance as well as injury risk reduction and rehabilitation. Maximal …

While proximity-to-failure is considered an important resistance training (RT) prescription
variable, its influence on physiological adaptations and short-term responses to RT is …

Background The proximity to failure in which sets are terminated has gained attention in the
scientific literature as a potentially key resistance training variable. Multiple meta-analyses …

This study examined the influence of resistance training (RT) proximity-to-failure, determined
by repetitions-in-reserve (RIR), on quadriceps hypertrophy and neuromuscular fatigue …

This study compared the effects of an increasing-intensity (UP) and a decreasing-intensity
(DOWN) resistance training protocol on affective responses across six training sessions …

Background Traditionally, the loads in resistance training are prescribed as a percentage of
the heaviest load that can be successfully lifted once (ie, 1 Repetition Maximum [1RM]). An …

Background The issues of replication and scientific transparency have been raised in
exercise and sports science research. A potential means to address the replication crisis …

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of progressive overload in resistance
training on muscle strength and cross-sectional area (CSA) by specifically comparing the …
