Cellular
Training increased muscle strength by approximately 20%-126%, muscle thickness by approximately 8%-11%, and average fiber cross-sectional area by approximately 15%-20%.
Resistance training significantly enhances muscle strength and size in both sexes.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Training increased (P < 0.01) muscle strength (~20%-126%), muscle thickness (~8%-11%), and average fiber cross-sectional area (~15%-20%).
Why this rating
Based on the study design involving controlled resistance training and measurements.
