Dose-Response Relationship of Weekly Resistance-Training Volume and Frequency on Muscular Adaptations in Trained Men

Purpose: A linear dose–response relationship between resistance-training (RT) volume and hypertrophy/strength has been proposed when ≤10 to 12 weekly sets are implemented. The present study aimed to understand the impact of low to high weekly RT volume on muscular adaptations in trained young men over 6 wk of RT. Methods: RT-experienced men (N = 49) were randomly allocated to a low (LOW; n = 17), moderate (MOD; n = 15), or high (HIGH, n = 17)...
