Men performed a higher weekly sets volume (WSV) for upper body muscles than women (47.2±14.6 vs. 18.2±7.4 sets).
Trainers should consider gender differences when designing upper body training programs.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Between group analysis demonstrated that men performed higher WSV for upper body (UB) muscles than women (47.2±14,6 vs. 18.2±7.4 sets).
Why this rating
Based on the analysis of a substantial sample of trained individuals.
Source
Is the weekly sets volume training performed by trained subjects in accordance with training recommendations guidelines for muscle hypertrophy?
