Muscle strength increased after all training interventions: RET by +25% ± 5%, HIIT by +10% ± 5%, and endurance training (ENT) by +7% ± 7% (P < 0.05).
All forms of exercise training can enhance muscle strength in middle-aged men.

Muscle strength (sum of leg press, leg extension, and bench press one-repetition maximums) increased after all training interventions (RET, +25% ± 5%; HIIT, +10% ± 5%; ENT, +7% ± 7%; P < 0.05).
Why this rating
Based on randomized controlled trial design.
