Neural
Both pyramid (PR) and constant (CT) resistance training systems significantly improve muscular strength and muscle mass in resistance-trained older women.
Both training methods can be used effectively to enhance strength and muscle mass in older women.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Results suggest that both systems are effective to improve strength and muscle growth.
Why this rating
Based on the randomized controlled trial design.
