Research
Neural
Both resistance training groups (multijoint to single-joint and single-joint to multijoint) showed significant increases in muscle strength (16.4% and 12.7%, respectively) after 12 weeks.
Both training orders are effective for improving muscle strength in older women.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Both training groups showed significant and similar increases in muscle strength (MJ-SJ = 16.4%; SJ-MJ = 12.7%)
Why this rating
Based on the randomized controlled trial design.
