Background Current recommendations on resistance training (RT) frequency for gains in
muscular strength are based on extrapolations from limited evidence on the topic, and thus …

Background A number of resistance training (RT) program variables can be manipulated to
maximize muscular hypertrophy. One variable of primary interest in this regard is RT …

Training frequency is considered an important variable in the hypertrophic response to
regimented resistance exercise. The purpose of this paper was to conduct a systematic …

Background Periodization is a logical method of organizing training into sequential phases
and cyclical time periods in order to increase the potential for achieving specific …
