- Both resistance training groups (two sessions and four sessions per week) increased chest and thigh circumferences, strength, and explosive actions performance tests compared to the control group after 8 weeks of training.Strong
- Four sessions of resistance training per week produced greater gains in muscular strength for the upper body measures (1RM bench press and arm curl) compared to two sessions per week.Strong
