Abstract in brief

  • Both consecutive and nonconsecutive resistance training sessions over 12 weeks led to similar improvements in strength, body composition, and red blood cell (RBC) parameters in healthy young men.
  • The study found that resistance training increased strength, lean body mass, and bone mineral density, regardless of the rest period between sessions, with no significant differences between the groups.
  • While RT caused some changes in RBC parameters, such as increased hematocrit and decreased certain hemoglobin measures, these changes were temporary and not significantly different between the consecutive and nonconsecutive training schedules.

This was pretty cool. Full-body workouts 3 x/week done either consecutively (24 h rest) or spread out during the week (48-72 h rest) for 12 weeks. Both groups gained strength and muscle with NO difference between groups. https://t.co/jy7TbzdULG https://t.co/OSVzUDuATe

สรุปคือเราสามารถเล่นกล้ามมัดเดิมหลายวันติดกัน หรือเล่นฟูลทุกวันก็ได้ กล้ามเนื้อเติบโตได้ใกล้เคียงกับการเล่นเป็นส่วนๆ นั่นเอง วิจัยพบว่าจำนวนเซ็ตที่เหมาะคือ 12-20 เซ็ต/สัปดาห์ ให้ผลสูงสุดแล้ว Ref https://t.co/nchW8QR8se https://t.co/lyq9hREf5d https://t.co/fOpsIrED0T https://t.co/g1DQveY0Hs

Bonus si vous prévoyez de courtes vacances et ne voulez pas léser l'entraînement : il est parfaitement possible de "condenser" nos entraînements sur une semaine plus courte, par exemple hier, je me suis entraîné deux fois en un jour. 8/9 https://t.co/amdYktd6Or

تقدر تتمرن كل يوم نفس العضلة ؟؟ يعتمد على الاني: ١- هل تنام كويس ؟ ٢- هل بتآكل احتياجك من البروتين ؟ ٣- هل حجم تمرينك عالي او منخفض ؟ ٤- هل تتمرن الى الفشل العضلي ؟ ( السؤال الاخير لازم تكون الإجابة لا ) https://t.co/SXTwvDGhi8
