Adherence
Resistance exercise studies must report specific training parameters (e.g., exercise selection, intensity, volume, rest intervals) to ensure scientific transparency and allow for replication.
If you are designing or reporting a resistance training study, use the PRIRES checklist to ensure you report all relevant training parameters, including exercise selection, intensity, volume, rest intervals, and progression rules.
StrongSupportsHIGH confidence
However, without complete reporting of the intervention, it is difficult to compare different primary studies and draw conclusions about preferred resistance training methods.
