Strength Gains Across Performance Levels and Sexes: A Meta-Analytical Perspective Open
Background Strength adaptations decrease with increasing training status. However, the inconsistent classification of training status in sports science impairs the comparability and interpretation of findings. This meta-analysis therefore …

Are calves trainable? Low-intensity calf muscle training with or without blood flow restriction: a randomized controlled trial Open
Objectives Whether low-load resistance training (RT) without muscle failure, with or without blood flow restriction (BFR), is sufficient to increase strength and muscle growth of calf muscles in trained individuals is still unclear. This s…

Free weight resistance training alters body composition in middle-aged women depending on menopause - A 20-week control trial study Open
Background: Resistance training (RT) is effective in counteracting the age- and menopause-related loss of muscle mass (MM) and strength in middle-aged women (40-60 years). Research on RT with free weights in this population is limited in p…

Comparison of the effects of isokinetic and isotonic strength training in team sport athletes: A randomized controlled trial Open
Background Athletes may benefit from isokinetic training (IK) to improve strength and jump performance. However, previous studies comparing IK methods to isotonic resistance training (IT) have utilized high-repetition protocols and a Dynam…

The Influence of Relaxing and Self-Selected Stimulating Music on Vertical Jump Performance in Male Volleyball Players Open
Most research concerning the effects of music on physical performance was conducted using endurance parameters. This study investigated the effects of relaxing (RLX) vs. self-selected stimulating music (SM) vs. no music (NM) on jump height…

Training with an elastic, supportive bench press device is not superior to a conventional training approach in trained men Open
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of an 8‑week powerlifting-type bench press (BP) resistance training (RT) program, either without (RAW) or with using a supportive elastic bench press device (EBD) on one-repetition maxim…

Low-intensity blood flow restriction calf muscle training leads to similar functional and structural adaptations than conventional low-load strength training: A randomized controlled trial Open
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a six-week, twice weekly resistance training (4 sets at 30% 1-RM until failure) with practical blood flow restriction (BFR) using 7cm wide cuffs with a twist lock placed below the patell…

Three Weeks of Detraining Does Not Decrease Muscle Thickness, Strength or Sport Performance in Adolescent Athletes Open
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of detraining following a block (BLOCK) or daily undulating periodized (DUP) resistance training (RT) on hypertrophy, strength, and athletic performance in adolescent athletes. Twenty-on…
