Factors that mediate the long-term effectiveness of resistance exercise stimuli include optimizing dose and recovery.
Focus on optimizing training dose and recovery to enhance long-term strength outcomes.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
We identify factors that mediate the long-term effectiveness of these RE stimuli, namely: optimizing the dose of RE within a session, beginning each set of RE in a minimally fatigued state, optimizing recovery between training sessions.
