Both single-set and multiple-set resistance training produce similar increases in muscular strength, muscle mass, muscle quality, and IGF-1 in untrained older women after 12 weeks.
Practitioners can use either single or multiple sets in resistance training for older women to achieve similar benefits.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
We conclude that both SS and MS produce similar increases in muscular strength, LST, and MQ of upper and lower limbs, and IGF-1 after 12 weeks of RT in untrained older women.
Why this rating
Based on the randomized controlled trial design.
