Summary: The study revealed that different combinations of resistance training factors can improve strength and muscle mass in untrained young and older adults. In older adults, greater training frequency and duration were found to be beneficial for strength and muscle mass gains, while excessive training volume may hinder progress.

Summary: This study compared the effects of resistance training programs implementing cluster and traditional set configurations on muscular and neuromuscular adaptations. Results showed that both cluster and traditional set configurations were equally effective in inducing muscular and neuromuscular adaptations.

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: Higher-load and lower-load resistance training induce similar muscle hypertrophy but higher-load training produces superior strength performance, particularly in 1-RM. However, the impact of resistance training loads on neuromuscular task performance remains uncertain.

Summary: This study describes the ribosome biogenesis during resistance training and its relationship with training volume and muscle growth. The researchers found that ribosomes accumulate in the initial phase of training and the rate of accumulation predicts muscle hypertrophy. Additionally, ribosome biogenesis is associated with UBF protein levels.

Summary: This systematic review with meta-analysis examined the impact of carbohydrate mouth rinse on muscle strength and endurance. The results showed that carbohydrate mouth rinse had no significant effect on maximal strength, but had a positive effect on muscular endurance. The study also found that carbohydrate mouth rinse was more beneficial for muscular endurance when using high workloads, multiple exercises, and a smaller number of rinses.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the effect of resistance training during adjuvant chemotherapy and radiation therapy in cancer patients on measures of lean mass and muscle strength. The results showed that resistance training significantly increased upper body strength, lower body strength, grip strength, and lean mass. The quality of included studies was moderate to high with low risk of bias.

Summary: High-frequency BFR training can generate significant neuromuscular adaptations, but strength declines and muscle fiber atrophy were reported in resistance training to failure. There is a lack of studies comparing low-frequency and high-frequency in short-term BFR training. Comparisons between resistance exercises of similar intensities are also lacking, limiting conclusions on the specific effects of proximity to failure or BFR.

Summary: Resistance circuit-based training is effective in reducing total body fat, increasing muscle mass, and improving strength and cardiorespiratory fitness concurrently. Properly managed training load can lead to greater improvements in body composition and strength adaptations. The magnitude of change in fat mass loss is influenced by factors such as training status, intensity, and rest time between exercises, showing significant effects with low to moderate intensity and short rest periods.

Summary: This review found that increasing training frequency for muscular strength during the competitive season does not result in significant differences, suggesting the potential for flexibility in training schedules and distribution of volume through shorter, more frequent sessions.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis showed that power training was associated with a modest improvement in physical function compared to traditional strength training in healthy, community-living older adults. However, larger and higher-quality randomized clinical trials are needed to draw more definitive conclusions.

Summary: This study compared the effects of autoregulated load prescription and standardized load prescription on chronic one-repetition maximum (1RM) strength and cross-sectional area (CSA) hypertrophy adaptations in resistance-trained individuals. The results showed that both autoregulated and standardized load prescription produced similar improvements in strength. However, when sets and relative intensity were equated, velocity loss thresholds <= 25% were superior for promoting strength, while velocity loss thresholds > 25% were superior for promoting hypertrophy.

Summary: Klotho is an anti-aging protein with therapeutic roles in different organs. Exercise can increase Klotho levels, making it an emergent and promising exerkine. This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the effects of different exercise training protocols on S-Klotho protein levels.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis compared the effects of resistance training to failure (RTF) versus not to failure (RTNF) on acute fatigue. The results showed that RTF led to greater acute fatigue, with larger decreases in biomechanical properties, increased metabolic response, higher muscle damage, and higher rating of perceived exertion (RPE) compared to RTNF. Exploratory subgroup analyses indicated more severe impairments in the movement velocity test for upper limbs, greater muscle damage 48 hours post-exercise, and higher RPE in studies with non-equalized volume after RTF session. These findings suggest that RTF induces greater acute fatigue than RTNF, which may impact chronic adaptive processes following resistance training.
