Exploring the Dose-Response Relationship Between Estimated Resistance Training Proximity to Failure, Strength Gain, and Muscle Hypertrophy: A Series of Meta-Regressions
One parameter that recently gained interest in strength & hypertrophy training is proximity to failure. It describes when to end a set. This metaanalysis provides a more nuanced understanding of how different proximities to failure
The effects of prioritizing lead or boulder climbing among intermediate climbers
This study aimed to examine if prioritizing bouldering or lead climbing can lead to specific improvements without sacrificing general climbing abilities.
Does varying resistance exercises promote superior muscle hypertrophy and strength gains? A systematic review
There is a vast body of research about the most effective training metrics to maximize hypertrophy and strength gains. This review, however, analyses a different aspect, namely if exercise variation influences hypertrophy and strength gains.
Strength Training in Climbing: A Systematic Review
This review focuses on how strength training affects climbing performance and climbing-specific strength outcomes. It seeks to answer which training methods and metrics are the most effective.
Maximizing strength development in athletes: a meta-analysis to determine the dose-response relationship
The relationship between strength gains and training metrics depends on the level of training experience. Given that, this review looked at studies exclusively with trained competitive athletes to provide evidence-based strength training recommendations.
