The mean knowledge score increased in all groups, with significant differences in the intervention groups compared to the control group.

Nutrition training can enhance knowledge about dietary habits among participants.

Higher consumption of animal-based foods may mitigate the risk of elevated TyG among women.

Encouraging a balanced intake of animal-based foods may be beneficial for women at risk of elevated TyG.

This paper conducts a systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of SIT/HIIT versus MICT on measures of body composition.

The findings may help practitioners understand the comparative effects of different training modalities on body composition.

Se presenta una herramienta dinamica de valoracion/evaluacion que incorpora tecnicas que permiten identificar las deficiencias funcionales mas conocidas.

Practitioners can utilize this dynamic assessment tool to identify and address functional deficiencies in clients.

There is debate over whether the timing of protein ingestion after exercise matters.

Practitioners should consider the timing of protein intake as a topic of discussion.

The quality of lipids improved in women and among individuals reporting some away-from-home food consumption.

Practitioners should note that lipid quality may improve with certain consumption patterns, particularly in women.

Both groups improved strength over time with no significant difference between treatments.

Both eccentric tempos can be effective for strength gains, providing flexibility in training design.

Weight gain during pregnancy was significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control group, with a reduction of 21%.

Resistance training may help limit excessive weight gain during pregnancy.

Fetal macrosomia incidence was significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control group, from 13.19 ± 3.9 to 4.32 ± 1.2 (p=0.001).

Implementing resistance training may reduce the risk of macrosomia in newborns.

High anabolic responders (HI) showed greater citrate synthase activity compared to low anabolic responders (LO) after 12 weeks of resistance exercise training (RET) with a significant main effect (HI>LO, p=0.018).

Practitioners should consider that individuals who respond better to resistance training may have enhanced mitochondrial function.

Myozenin-1 protein levels were up-regulated in the low anabolic responders (LO) after 12 weeks of RET.

This suggests that myozenin-1 could be a potential biomarker for assessing anabolic responses to resistance training.

Men performed a higher weekly sets volume (WSV) for upper body muscles than women (47.2±14.6 vs. 18.2±7.4 sets).

Trainers should consider gender differences when designing upper body training programs.

Women performed a higher WSV for lower body muscle groups than men (23.8±11.2 vs. 11.5±7.0 sets).

Trainers should consider gender differences when designing lower body training programs.

The weekly sets volume performed by subjects of both genders is disproportionate between different muscle groups.

Practitioners should ensure balanced training volume across different muscle groups.

Participants in the VR program reported a high level of enjoyment.

High enjoyment in VR programs may encourage sustained participation in fitness activities.

Higher doses of caffeine (8 mg • kg -1) increase lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels compared to lower doses and placebo.

Higher caffeine doses may lead to increased metabolic stress, which could be beneficial for certain training adaptations.

An 8 mg • kg -1 dosage of caffeine increases uric acid levels compared to placebo.

Practitioners should be aware that higher caffeine intake may elevate uric acid levels, which could have implications for certain individuals.

There are significant differences in RPE values among different resistance exercise intensities.

Different intensities should be monitored for perceived exertion to optimize training.

A lower training age (TA) is related to increased difficulty of repetitions in reserve (RIR) assessment when 3 or more RIR exist.

Trainers should consider the training age of individuals when assessing perceived exertion during resistance training.

Greater chronological age (CA) is associated with more accurately assessing RIR closer to failure.

Older trainees may have an advantage in accurately gauging their exertion levels during training.

The greater amount of repetitions performed per set is related to increased difficulty to accurately gauge RIR further from failure.

Practitioners should note that as repetitions increase, gauging effort may become less accurate.

Changes in chest muscle thickness did not statistically differ between resistance training with 4-6 RPE and 7-9 RPE.

Practitioners may consider that varying proximity to failure in resistance training does not significantly affect muscle thickness outcomes.

There was a significant moderate correlation between 1RM and ACV decline from 30 to 90% 1RM (r = 0.48, p = 0.01).

Strength coaches can use this correlation to better understand how strength levels affect velocity decline during training.

There was a significant moderate correlation between relative back squat strength and ACV decline from 30 to 90% 1RM (r = 0.56, p= < 0.01).

Strength coaches can utilize this correlation to tailor training programs based on relative strength levels.
