September 2021Synopsis of Social media discussions
The overall tone suggests a balanced or skeptical view, with posts noting the lack of a meaningful effect from increased training frequency and referencing the research's implications, such as 'Training frequency didn’t have a meaningful effect' and 'shorter strength sessions are just as good,' highlighting a cautious acknowledgment of the findings. The use of neutral language and camaraderie, like congratulatory messages, further reflects moderate engagement and minimal perceived impact.
Agreement
Neither agree nor disagreeMost discussions are neutral or indifferent, with some posts expressing mild disagreement or disbelief about the significance of training frequency effects.
Interest
Neutral level of interestParticipants show average curiosity, with neither strong enthusiasm nor complete disinterest in the topic.
Engagement
Moderate level of engagementSome discussions delve into the details of the meta-analysis and cite specific findings, reflecting a moderate level of thoughtful engagement.
Impact
Neutral impactThe conversations have limited influence on changing opinions or prompting action, as most posts are observational or congratulatory without advocating for significant change.

Abstract Synopsis
- This systematic review and meta-analysis examined how training frequency impacts strength development in well-trained athletes, especially during the busy inseason period when athletes often compete multiple times per week, limiting training time.
- The study analyzed data from multiple high-quality sources and found that increasing training frequency, with shorter and more frequent sessions, can significantly improve muscular strength for both upper and lower body muscles in well-trained individuals.
- Overall, the findings suggest that adjusting training schedules to include more frequent resistance sessions can help athletes maintain or enhance strength even during congested competition periods, with low risk of bias and consistent positive effects across studies.
