Both moderate-load and high-load resistance training resulted in significant increases in lean body mass (1.5 ± 0.83 kg) and lean dry mass (1.32 ± 0.62 kg).
Both training methods are effective for increasing muscle mass in untrained young women.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Both HL and ML resulted in similar significant increases in lean body mass (1.5 ± 0.83 kg), lean dry mass (1.32 ± 0.62 kg).
