Summary: The central question of this study is how free weight resistance training and body mass-based resistance training compare in terms of isometric muscular strength, muscle size, and intramuscular fat content in the quadriceps femoris. The main finding is that both types of resistance training can lead to muscle hypertrophy, but only body mass-based resistance training resulted in decreased intramuscular fat content.

Summary: This study aimed to examine whether muscle hypertrophy induced by resistance training leads to greater strength gains. The results showed that the group that underwent hypertrophy-oriented training increased strength during the strength-oriented period, with no observed changes in muscle size.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of dynamic and static stretching performed before resistance training on muscle adaptations in untrained young men. The results showed that 80 seconds of either static or dynamic stretching did not induce any additional muscular adaptations to resistance training in untrained young men.

Summary: The traditional method of resistance training typically consists of 3 sessions per week, with 3 sets of 9 repetitions at 75% of 1RM. Movement time for concentric and eccentric phases is around 2 seconds, with 1-2 minutes of rest between sets. Various definitions and references are used to describe the traditional training method, with the American College of Sports Medicine being the most cited source.

Summary: This study reviewed the effects of pyramid strength training on acute responses and long-term adaptations, and found that pyramid training was not superior to traditional training in terms of acute physiological responses, strength gains, and muscle hypertrophy. Therefore, the manipulation of this training method can be based on issues of periodization, motivation, and personal preference.

Summary: Binge drinking refers to a pattern of alcohol intake that raises blood alcohol concentration to or above legal intoxication levels. It is common among young adults and is associated with health risks that scale up with alcohol intake. The brain compensates for the acute depressant effects of alcohol under habitual heavy use, but human evidence on the compensatory reduction in GABA signaling is scant.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of 8 weeks of EMS training on abdominal muscle function and whether these effects could be maintained after 4 weeks of detraining. The results showed significant increases in muscle size, strength, endurance, and lumbopelvic control after 8 weeks of EMS training. After 4 weeks of detraining, muscle size remained greater than baseline, but there were no significant differences in strength, endurance, and lumbopelvic control compared to baseline measurements.

Summary: The study found that while muscle hypertrophy improvements seem to be load independent, increases in muscle strength are superior in high-load RT programs. Untrained participants exhibit greater muscle hypertrophy, whereas undertaking more RT sessions provides superior gains in those with previous training experience.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of resistance training with low and moderate loads on muscular strength, muscle mass, and muscle quality index (MQI) in older women. The results showed that both low and moderate loads were equally effective in promoting improvements in muscular strength, muscle growth, and MQI in older women.

Summary: This study found that despite significant effects on muscular structure and function, different occlusion pressures in blood flow restricted resistance training did not preferentially increase strength, hypertrophy, or muscular endurance. Moderate pressure training resulted in greater deoxygenation stress. Overall, varied occlusion pressure did not significantly impact training outcomes or tissue O-2 saturation and blood lactate concentrations.

Summary: This longitudinal study investigates the positive association between extracurricular activities in the arts, such as music and visual arts, and general academic performance. Data from 488 seventh-grade students were collected over two years. The results show that participating in extracurricular activities in both music and visual arts is positively associated with improvements in general academic performance from seventh to ninth grade, and this association is related to changes in music and visual arts scores. However, further research is needed to examine the causal relationship and control for other factors.

Summary: Improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness were found to be associated with enhancements in the worst grade points of an individual student, but did not show a similar effect on the best grade points. Intra-individual variability in grade points might moderate the association between physical fitness and academic performance changes.
