Neural
There was stronger support for general inter-individual response variation (GEN) compared to condition-specific response variation (CON).
Understanding general response variation can help tailor training programs more effectively.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Integrated methods revealed stronger evidence for GEN versus CON IRV, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.67 to 0.7 for GEN versus 0.04 to 0.06 for CON.

- Higher weekly set volumes produced a detectable advantage for muscle hypertrophy (1.8 cm²) but not maximal strength (3.48 kg).Strong
- Gross variability in resistance training outcomes often reflects confounding sources of within-participant variation rather than true inter-individual differences.Strong
