Neural
Both moderate-load and high-load training improved strength and power, as evidenced by increases in vertical jump (2.9 ± 3.2 cm) and back squat one repetition maximum (22.5 ± 8.1 kg).
Both training methods are effective for enhancing strength and power in untrained young women.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Both HL and ML resulted in similar significant increases in vertical jump (2.9 ± 3.2 cm), back squat one repetition maximum (1RM) (22.5 ± 8.1 kg).
