It should be obvious from the name of this site that we’re pretty into science around these parts. When we discuss a particular subject, we try to give a broad, objective overview of all the relevant studies in that area. I’d never claim we’re perfect, but that’s always our aim. However, not everyone is that scrupulous. A common tactic used by many people who aim to appear scientific while still pushing an agenda is called “cherry picking.” Cherry picking refers to discussing only research that supports your point of view, while ignoring or impugning research that disagrees with your biases. In any area of science with a lot of studies being conducted, there are going to be some studies that support one position, and other studies that support the entirely opposite position. The cynic would take that as evidence that science can’t be trusted, but it’s generally much less sinister than that. Simply due to different methodologies, different subject pools, and random chance, you should expect studies to come to differing conclusions. So, how can you avoid cherry picking, but also just avoid saying “some studies say this and some studies say that, so we really have no idea”? Systematic review and meta-analyses.
In a review article, you discuss the findings of many studies instead of primarily just reporting the results of a single study. Not all reviews are created equal, though. In systematic reviews, you follow an extensive set of guidelines to ensure you find and report the results of all of the research in a given area. In non-systematic reviews (sometimes called narrative reviews), you don’t have to report the results of all studies and you have more freedom in how you structure your discussion (i.e. tell a narrative). Some non-systematic reviews are excellent and can be extremely useful because they’re generally a bit more reader-friendly. For example, these are a few very good non-systematic reviews (one, two, three, four). However, non-systematic reviews can also be rife with bias and cherry-picking since they’re not conducted in a systematic way, generally meaning systematic reviews provide a more objective and thorough overview of the literature.
Meta-analyses are simply systematic reviews with the addition of statistical analysis. In a meta-analysis, you pool the results of many studies asking the same (or very similar) research questions to get a quantitative overview of the literature. Maybe 10 studies say A is better than B, 5 say there’s no difference, and 2 say B is better than A. Based on the size of those differences, a meta-analysis may show that, when pooling all results together, A is truly significantly better than B, on average. However, if the 5 studies showing no difference were very large trials, or the two studies in favor of B found very large effects, the meta-analysis may find that there’s no significant difference between A and B, on average, in spite of the majority of studies favoring A.
If you’re familiar with the hierarchy of evidence, systematic reviews and meta-analyses are typically considered the highest quality of evidence. That doesn’t mean they’re perfect – if the literature in a given area is of poor quality, you’re left with a garbage-in-garbage-out scenario – but they’re typically considered to be better and more reliable than individual studies.
Therefore, due to the significance of systematic reviews and meta-analyses, we’ve put together a list and short take-home message of many recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses so you can cut straight to the chase of the results. Many topics related to strength, muscle growth, and nutrition have systematic reviews or meta-analyses covering them. If you’re curious about the research on a given topic, refer back to this list to see if there’s already a systematic review or meta-analysis on the topic. That will give you a better overview than trying to seek out studies one by one (and, if you do want to read the individual studies, it will make your search MUCH easier, since they’ll be referenced in the SR or MA on the topic).
Since there are so many individual systematic reviews or meta-analyses on this list, the overview of each will be really brief. If there are any really major issues, we’ll note them, but for the most part, we’ll just stick to the main findings. Also note that we haven’t included every systematic review or meta-analysis ever done on this list. When there were multiple articles covering the same topic, we went with the one that was more recent or of higher overall quality. If we missed one that you think should be included, let us know in the comments!
To make it easy on you, we split things up by topic. First will be strength, then hypertrophy, then nutrition, then miscellaneous other reviews that are relevant but not neatly categorized.
Just so you’ll know what you’re looking at and reading when viewing the figures below and reading the brief synopses, you’ll need to have an understanding of confidence intervals and forest plots. Confidence intervals (CI) tell you the range of values in which a population average will most likely fall. In meta-analyses, if a confidence interval for comparisons between two different treatments/conditions doesn’t cross zero, then you can state that there’s a statistically significant difference between the two (you have a high level of confidence that the population averages for the two treatments are truly different). Forest plots are figures commonly used in meta-analyses, showing the confidence intervals for multiple studies, along with the pooled average and confidence interval for the entire group of studies.
Here’s an example:
This is a forest plot from a meta-analysis by Schoenfeld et al. looking at the effects of high load vs. low-load training on strength gains. Each black square represents the mean difference in an individual study, while the black bars extending out from that black square represent the confidence interval for that study. The black diamond at the bottom is the confidence interval when pooling the results of all studies. Since the confidence interval doesn’t cross 0, this would be a statistically significant difference, with high-load training leading to significantly larger strength gains than low-load training.

(Update, March 2021: The rate at which systematic reviews and meta-analyses are being published has picked up considerably in recent years, and demands on my time have also increased substantially from where they were when this page went live in 2018. I’m not sure I’ll be able to keep this page fully updated with summaries and figures for all of the new systematic reviews and meta-analyses moving forward, but I should still have time to provide titles and links for anyone who doesn’t mind doing a tiny bit of legwork. I’ll keep adding the new reviews at the top of each section)

Resistance Training Load Effects on Muscle Hypertrophy and Strength Gain. Lopez et al. (2020)
This meta is an updated and expanded meta looking at the same question the Schoenfeld (2017) meta examined: the impact of intensity on strength gains. This meta split loading zones into “high load” (8RM or heavier), “moderate load” (9-15RM), and “low load” (lighter than 15RM). It found that moderate- and high-load training led to larger strength gains than low-load training, but that high-load training didn’t lead to significantly larger strength gains than moderate-load training. However, it’s worth noting that the difference between moderate- and high-load training was nearly significant (p<0.07) in favor of high loads. I suspect that high load training is actually superior, but the meta-analysis lacked statistical power. It’s also worth noting that most of the subjects in the included studies were untrained; I suspect that the difference between moderate-load and high-load training is larger for more experienced lifters.
Effects of subjective and objective autoregulation methods for intensity and volume on enhancing maximal strength during resistance-training interventions: a systematic review. Larsen et al. (2021)
This was just a really solid review of the extant studies investigating various autoregulation methods, but there’s no meta-analytic component comparing autoregulation against inflexible training prescriptions. The basic conclusion is that autoregulation can work when programming for strength development. I’d primarily recommend this paper as a good resource for acquainting yourself with this body of literature.
Chronic Effects of Altering Resistance Training Set Configurations Using Cluster Sets: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Davies et al. (2021)
Cluster sets and traditional sets seem to produce similar strength gains. Another recent meta-analysis by Jukic and colleagues comparing traditional sets with both cluster sets and rest redistribution sets had similar findings. However, cluster sets and rest redistribution sets may be superior for improving velocities with submaximal loads, while traditional sets may be superior for improving strength endurance.
The Effects of Regular Cold-Water Immersion Use on Training-Induced Changes in Strength and Endurance Performance: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis. Malta et al. (2020)
Cold-water immersion after workouts seems to have a negative impact on training-induced improvements in strength (assessed via 1RM strength, maximal isometric strength, strength endurance, and ballistic strength). However, aerobic adaptations seem to be unaffected.
Classic Powerlifting Performance: A Systematic Review. Ferland and Comtois (2019)
It would be hard to summarize this article without basically just copying and pasting the abstract. More than anything, it would be a good article to mine for references if you want to see the state of the research on raw powerlifters across a wide array of outcomes.
Effect of blood‐flow restricted vs heavy‐load strength training on muscle strength: Systematic review and meta‐analysis. Grønfeldt et al. (2020)
Low-load training (20-50% 1RM) with blood flow restriction produces strength gains that are not significantly different from strength training without blood flow restriction in more traditional intensity ranges (60-90% 1RM). However, the mean effect leans in favor of heavier training without BFR, and the difference would likely be larger in well-trained populations. However, if gaining strength is a primary training goal, and you choose to do low-load training for some reason, using BFR for your low-load training may not be a bad idea. A slightly older meta-analysis did find a significant difference in strength gains in favor of heavier traditional training; it also found that low-load training the BFR and heavier traditional training led to similar muscle growth.
Effects of Dynamic Resistance Exercise on Bone Mineral Density in Postmenopausal Women: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis With Special Emphasis on Exercise Parameters. Shojaa et al. (2020)
In postmenopausal women, resistance exercise is effective for increasing or better-preserving bone mineral density of the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip. Another meta by the same group had similar findings. Furthermore, training intensity may not have much of an impact on the benefits of resistance training for bone mineral density, but more research is needed on the topic.
Resistance training induced changes in strength and specific force at the fiber and whole muscle level: a meta-analysis. Dankel et al (2018)
Strength gains on a whole-muscle level generally exceed strength gains on a fiber level following resistance training. Furthermore, following resistance training, type I fiber specific tension generally increases, while type II fiber specific tension does not increase to a statistically significant degree.
Sex Differences in Resistance Training: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Roberts et al (2020).
Relative (e.g. percentage) increases in muscle mass and lower body strength following resistance training are similar between the sexes. Relative increases in upper body strength tend to be larger in females. This is a more formalized version of a meta-analysis that previously appeared on Stronger By Science. A more recent meta on older adults (>50 years old) had broadly similar findings: on a relative basis, lower body strength gains were larger in females, while hypertrophy and upper body strength gains were similar between sexes; conversely, absolute hypertrophy and strength gains were larger in males.
The Minimum Effective Training Dose Required to Increase 1RM Strength in Resistance-Trained Men: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Androulakis-Korakakis et al. (2020)
One set taken to failure or very close to failure, 2-3x per lift per week, with ~70-85% 1RM is sufficient for intermediate-level lifters to still make strength gains in the squat and bench press.
Variations in strength-related measures during the menstrual cycle in eumenorrheic women: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Blagrove et al. (2020)
Strength does not seem to fluctuate significantly throughout the menstrual cycle in eumenorrheic females. This study was previously reviewed in more detail in MASS.
The Effects of Menstrual Cycle Phase on Exercise Performance in Eumenorrheic Women: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. McNulty et al. (2020)
Exercise performance may be slightly reduced in the early follicular phase of the menstrual cycle (e.g. during menstruation). However, the average magnitude of the effect is trivial (d = 0.01-0.14), and the only statistically significant difference is between the early and late follicular phases.
What influence does resistance exercise order have on muscular strength gains and muscle hypertrophy? A systematic review and meta-analysis. Nunes et al. (2020)
Exercise order (multi-joint exercises before single-joint, versus single-joint exercises before multi-joint) significantly affects strength gains; you generally gain more strength in the exercises you train earlier in a training session. However, exercise order does not seem to significantly impact muscle growth. This study was previously discussed in more depth in MASS.
Systematic review and meta-analysis of linear and undulating periodized resistance training programs on muscular strength. Harries et al. (2015)
Linear and undulating periodization approaches led to similar increases in bench press and squat strength. While there was no significant difference, results tended to favor undulating periodization for leg press strength (p=0.07).
The Effect of Weekly Set Volume on Strength Gain: A Meta-Analysis. Ralston et al. (2017)
Higher weekly set volume (5-10+) led to larger strength gains than lower week set volumes (<5). This held true for both compound and single-joint exercises. The differences weren’t quite as large as many people might expect (i.e. substantially higher volume for ~20% faster gains), but they were statistically significant and definitely meaningful for people trying to maximize strength. However, substantial strength gains were also possible with low weekly set volume. These findings mirror those of an earlier meta-analysis by Kreiger: Single versus multiple sets of resistance exercise: a meta-regression. This meta-analysis was discussed in more detail in Volume 1, Issue 6 of MASS.
Comparison of Periodized and Non-Periodized Resistance Training on Maximal Strength: A Meta-Analysis. Williams et al. (2017)
Periodized training led to significantly larger strength gains than non-periodized training. The difference was considered a small effect. However, there was some evidence of publication bias, with several studies showing outsized results in favor of periodized training beyond what would be expected without bias. When they were removed, the mean effect in favor of periodized training was roughly halved, but it was still significant. This should sound familiar to Stronger By Science readers. This meta-analysis was also discussed in more depth in Volume 1, Issue 4 of MASS.
Concurrent training: a meta-analysis examining interference of aerobic and resistance exercises. Wilson et al. (2012)
Concurrent training (doing both strength and endurance training) led to smaller lower body strength and power gains than strength training alone. There were no differences for upper body strength gains. The difference for lower body strength gains depended on the cardio modality used, though. There was a significant difference between concurrent training and strength training alone when running was the cardio modality, but not when cycling was used instead (however, when looking at the raw effect sizes, it does seem that cycling still had some negative impacts, that just weren’t large enough to reach significance). There were no differences for upper body strength gains. Moderating factors included frequency and duration, such that more frequent cardio and longer duration cardio tended to decrease lower body strength and power gains to a greater degree than less frequent or shorter duration cardio.
The compatibility of concurrent high intensity interval training and resistance training for muscular strength and hypertrophy: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Sabag et al. (2018)
Much like the Wilson meta-analysis (which primarily used studies employing low-intensity cardio) on the interference effect with concurrent training, this meta-analysis found that combining resistance training and HIIT led to smaller gains in lower body strength than resistance training alone, while upper body strength gains were unaffected. Unlike the Wilson meta-analysis, cycle sprints seemed to negatively affect strength gains more than running sprints (though the difference between modalities wasn’t significant). No interference effect on strength gains was observed in studies allowing at least 24 hours of rest between lifting and HIIT sessions.
The Role of Intra-Session Exercise Sequence in the Interference Effect: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis. Eddens et al. (2018)
If you need to do strength training and aerobic training within the same session, this meta-analysis found that session order (i.e. lifting first or cardio first) didn’t affect gains in aerobic fitness, changes in body fat percentage, or lower body isometric strength, but it did affect lower body dynamic strength. Lifting first in the session, followed by cardio, led to larger strength gains than doing cardio first. The difference wasn’t particularly large (~7% larger strength gains), but it was significant. A 2017 meta-analysis on the same topic by Murlasits et al. came to similar conclusions, but only looked at dynamic strength and aerobic fitness.
Strength and Hypertrophy Adaptations Between Low- vs. High-Load Resistance Training: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Schoenfeld et al. (2017)
This meta-analysis found that, unsurprisingly, heavy training (>60% of 1RM) led to larger gains in dynamic strength than low-load training (≤60% of 1RM). However, there was no significant difference for isometric strength. This meta-analysis was also discussed in more depth in Volume 1, Issue 7 of MASS.
Effect of Resistance Training Frequency on Gains in Muscular Strength: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Grgic et al. (2018)
This meta-analysis found that higher training frequencies are associated with larger strength gains. However, in studies where volume was equated despite different frequencies (weekly volume was higher in the higher frequency groups in many studies), higher frequencies weren’t associated with larger strength gains. This meta-analysis was discussed in Volume 2, Issue 4 of MASS, along with an additional analysis of just the studies using trained lifters.
Effect of Movement Velocity During Resistance Training on Dynamic Muscular Strength: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Davies et al. (2017)
This meta-analysis found that, when controlling for intensity and volume, lifting velocity didn’t significantly affect strength gains. However, it should be noted that several of the studies in this meta-analysis involved training to failure, meaning the velocity differences may have only existed for the first few reps. It also included a few studies using protocols where the training would have been very easy for both groups (i.e. 3×8 at 50% of 1RM) where you wouldn’t expect big strength gains in either group.
Effect of Training Leading to Repetition Failure on Muscular Strength: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Davies et al. (2016); also check the erratum
This meta-analysis found that training to failure vs. stopping short of failure didn’t significantly affect strength gains. That was true both for studies where volume was controlled, and for studies where volume wasn’t controlled.
Effects of Variable Resistance Training on Maximal Strength: A Meta-Analysis. Soria-Gila et al (2015)
This meta-analysis was retracted after a re-analysis found several errors in the original publication. When those errors were corrected, there was effectively no difference between training with straight weight vs. including bands and chains.
Is inertial flywheel resistance training superior to gravity-dependent resistance training in improving muscle strength? A systematic review with meta-analyses. Vicens-Bordas et al. (2018)
This meta-analysis found that flywheel training devices led to similar strength gains compared to gravity-dependent resistance training (i.e. free weights, or most of the machines you’d find a typical gym). This was honestly probably an area of research that wasn’t quite ready for a meta-analysis (only seven studies).
Effects of weightlifting exercise, traditional resistance and plyometric training on countermovement jump performance: a meta-analysis. Berton et al. (2018)
Weightlifting exercises (the clean & jerk, the snatch, and their derivatives) seem to increase countermovement jump performance to a greater degree than traditional resistance exercises. Weightlifting exercises and plyometrics seem to be equally effective at increasing countermovement jump performance.
The efficacy of resistance training in hypoxia to enhance strength and muscle growth: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Ramos-Campo et al (2018)
This meta-analysis found that strength gains after training in hypoxia (i.e. conditions that simulate being at high altitudes using environmental chambers, not using something like “altitude training masks”) were similar in magnitude to strength gains after training with normal oxygen availability. There aren’t many studies on this topic yet, so this meta-analysis may have been a bit premature.
Effects and Dose-Response Relationships of Motor Imagery Practice on Strength Development in Healthy Adult Populations: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Paravlic et al. (2018)
This meta-analysis found that motor imagery training led to significant strength gains compared to no training, but that a combination of motor imagery and physical training didn’t lead to larger strength gains than physical training alone. However, it’s worth noting that a recent study not included in this meta-analysis (since it was published after they’d completed their literature search) did find that a combination of motor imagery and physical training led to larger strength gains than physical training alone. However, that’s still just the fifth study testing a combination of physical training and motor imagery vs. physical training alone, so that’s an area badly in need of more research. As it is, it seems that the main application of motor imagery training would be to aid in maintaining performance when you need to take time off training for some reason (injury, vacation, etc.).
Dose–Response Relationships of Resistance Training in Healthy Old Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Borde et al. (2015)
Older people can get stronger and jacked-er too! This meta-analysis was simply intended to determine the training variables associated with the largest increases in strength and muscle size in older adults. I think the most important finding was that the training doses that work best in older adults look really similar to what tends to work best in younger adults as well, except with slightly lower volume and intensity.
Effects and dose–response relationships of resistance training on physical performance in youth athletes: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Lesinski et al. (2016)
Similar to the meta-analysis on older adults, this meta-analysis was simply intended to determine the training variables associated with the largest increases in performance in young athletes. Again, their findings largely mirror what are usually considered good general training practices: long-term training (>23 weeks), with a frequency of 1-3x per exercise per week, high-ish intensities (80-89% of 1RM), high volumes (5 sets per exercise beat out 1-4 sets per exercise), a moderate number of reps per set (6-8), and long rest duration (3-4 minutes between sets) was found to promote the largest strength gains.
A more recent umbrella review, also by Lesinski and colleagues, delves even deeper into the topic of resistance training for youth and adolescent athletes. It gives an overview of all of the systematic reviews and meta-analyses ever performed related to the effects of resistance training in children and adolescents. It’s worth checking out if you train young lifters.
A Meta-Analysis of Resistance Training in Female Youth: Its Effect on Muscular Strength, and Shortcomings in the Literature. Moran et al. (2018)
Strength training is effective for increasing strength in young females. However, the effect is about twice as large for older adolescents (>15 years old) than younger adolescents (15 years old or younger).
Supramaximal Eccentrics Versus Traditional Loading in Improving Lower-Body 1RM: A Meta-Analysis. Buskard et al. (2018)
Supramaximal eccentric training involves lowering heavier weights than you can lift concentrically. This meta-analysis found that supramaximal eccentric training didn’t lead to larger 1RM increases than traditional training (i.e. with submaximal eccentrics and concentrics). However, the only study that used a free weight compound exercise (squats) did find a benefit for supramaximal eccentric training. So, while it doesn’t seem that supramaximal eccentrics aid in 1RM strength development in single-joint or machine exercises, it’s probably prudent to wait for most studies using compound free weight exercises before coming to a strong conclusion regarding their efficacy for powerlifting.

Resistance Training Load Effects on Muscle Hypertrophy and Strength Gain. Lopez et al. (2020)
This meta is an updated and expanded meta looking at the same question the Schoenfeld (2017) meta examined: the impact of intensity on muscle growth. This meta split loading zones into “high load” (8RM or heavier), “moderate load” (9-15RM), and “low load” (lighter than 15RM). It found that hypertrophy was similar in all three loading zones.
Chronic Effects of Altering Resistance Training Set Configurations Using Cluster Sets: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Davies et al. (2021)
Cluster sets and traditional sets seem to produce similar hypertrophy. Another recent meta-analysis by Jukic and colleagues comparing traditional sets with both cluster sets and rest redistribution sets had similar findings.
Regional Hypertrophy, the Inhomogeneous Muscle Growth: A Systematic Review. Zabaleta-Korta et al. (2020).
Regional hypertrophy (greater growth in some regions of a muscle compared to other regions) can occur, and seems to be the rule, rather than the exception. Of the 14 studies included in this review, inhomogenous hypertrophy was observed in 13 of them.
Effects of range of motion on muscle development during resistance training interventions: A systematic review. Schoenfeld and Grgic. (2020)
We have fairly consistent evidence indicating that training through a longer range of motion is beneficial for lower body hypertrophy (quad growth, specifically). There haven’t been many studies investigating upper body hypertrophy yet. This study was previously discussed in more depth in MASS.
Gluteus Maximus Activation during Common Strength and Hypertrophy Exercises: A Systematic Review. Neto et al. (2020)
Step-up, hip thrust, and deadlift variations do a pretty good job of eliciting high levels of glute EMG activity. Lunges and squat variations are also pretty good.
Isometric training and long‐term adaptations: Effects of muscle length, intensity, and intent: A systematic review. Oranchuk et al. (2018)
“Isometric training at longer muscle lengths produced greater muscular hypertrophy when compared to equal volumes of shorter muscle length training. Ballistic intent resulted in greater neuromuscular activation and rapid force production. Substantial improvements in muscular hypertrophy and maximal force production were reported regardless of training intensity. High‐intensity (≥70%) contractions are required for improving tendon structure and function. Additionally, long muscle length training results in greater transference to dynamic performance.”
Maximizing Muscle Hypertrophy: A Systematic Review of Advanced Resistance Training Techniques and Methods. Krzysztofik et al. (2019)
It’s not even worth attempting to summarize this systematic review, but if you’re interested in seeing what literature is out there regarding “advanced techniques” in resistance training (drop sets, rest-paused sets, etc.), you should check out this article to find all of the relevant studies in one place.
Muscle Fiber Hypertrophy and Myonuclei Addition: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Conceiçäo et al. (2018)
“Muscle fiber hypertrophy of ≤10% induces increases in myonuclear content, although a significantly higher number of myonuclei are observed when muscle hypertrophy is ~22%. Additional analyses showed that age, sex, and muscle fiber type do not influence muscle fiber hypertrophy or myonuclei addition.”
Effects of linear and daily undulating periodized resistance training programs on measures of muscle hypertrophy: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Grgic et al. (2017)
This meta-analysis found that both linear and daily undulating periodized training had similar effects on muscle growth. This meta-analysis was discussed in more depth in Volume 1, Issue 7 of MASS.
Should resistance training programs aimed at muscular hypertrophy be periodized? A systematic review of periodized versus non-periodized approaches Grgic et al. (2017)
This systematic review found that, at least in the short term (i.e. a few months), periodized and non-periodized training have similar effects on muscle growth.
Dose-response relationship between weekly resistance training volume and increases in muscle mass: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Schoenfeld et al. (2017)
This meta-analysis found that higher training volumes were associated with more muscle growth. There was an essentially linear relationship, with <5 sets per week leading to a 5.4% increase in muscle size, 5-9 sets per week leading to a 6.6% increase in muscle size, and 10+ sets per week leading to 9.8% increase in muscle size. However, there was one outlier that strongly influenced the results. When it was removed, the overall trend still held, but the overall effect shrunk. Before removal, each additional set was worth an additional 0.37% increase, on average; after its removal, each additional set was worth an additional 0.25% increase, on average. These results are very similar to those of an earlier meta-analysis by Kreiger: Single vs. multiple sets of resistance exercise for muscle hypertrophy: a meta-analysis.
Hypertrophic Effects of Concentric vs. Eccentric Muscle Actions: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Schoenfeld et al. (2017)
This meta-analysis found no significant differences between concentric and eccentric training for hypertrophy. However, results tended to favor eccentric training (10% vs. 6.8%; p=0.076). However, since most exercises have both an eccentric and concentric component, this probably isn’t a big deal since you’ll be performing both muscle actions in most of your training. For more on eccentric training, this systematic review by Douglas et al. is also well worth a read.
Concurrent training: a meta-analysis examining interference of aerobic and resistance exercises. Wilson et al. (2012)
As with the strength findings from this same meta-analysis (presented earlier in this article), concurrent training led to less lower body hypertrophy than strength training alone. However, this difference was also mediated by aerobic training modality; there was a significant difference when running was the aerobic modality, but not when cycling was the aerobic modality (though nominal effect sizes still tended to favor strength training alone).
The compatibility of concurrent high intensity interval training and resistance training for muscular strength and hypertrophy: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Sabag et al. (2018)
Unlike the Wilson meta-analysis (which primarily used studies employing low-intensity cardio) on the interference effect with concurrent training, this meta-analysis found that combining resistance training and HIIT led to just as much hypertrophy as resistance training alone.
The Role of Intra-Session Exercise Sequence in the Interference Effect: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis. Eddens et al. (2018)
Unlike the strength findings from this same meta-analysis, session order didn’t have a significant effect on hypertrophy. If you have to do strength training and cardio in the same session, the order you do them in probably won’t have much of an effect on lower body muscle growth.
Effect of repetition duration during resistance training on muscle hypertrophy: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Schoenfeld et al. (2015)
This meta-analysis found that repetition duration didn’t significantly affect hypertrophy. As long as you’re training hard, whether you like lifting explosively or purposefully slowing your reps down, muscle growth will probably be similar. It’s worth noting that there weren’t enough studies with really long rep durations (10+ seconds) to meta-analyze, but preliminary results indicate that with super slow reps, hypertrophy may be diminished to some degree.
Strength and Hypertrophy Adaptations Between Low- vs. High-Load Resistance Training: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Schoenfeld et al (2017)
Unlike the dynamic strength findings from this same meta-analysis, hypertrophy was unaffected by training intensity. Both high load (>60% of 1RM) and low load (≤60% of 1RM) training caused similar muscle growth. It’s worth noting that all of these studies had people train to failure. This conclusion should sound familiar to Stronger By Science readers. A more recent meta-analysis examining the effects of high and low load training on muscle fiber hypertrophy also observed similar hypertrophy in both general loading zones.
How many times per week should a muscle be trained to maximize muscle hypertrophy? A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies examining the effects of resistance training frequency. Schoenfeld et al. (2018)
When volume is equated, training frequency doesn’t seem to have much of an impact on muscle growth. When volume isn’t equated (i.e. when higher frequencies mean higher volumes), higher frequencies generally yield more muscle growth.
Effect of movement velocity during resistance training on muscle-specific hypertrophy: A systematic review. Hackett et al. (2018)
This was a systematic review found that moderate-to-slow velocities (2-3 second eccentrics and concentrics) may lead to more quad growth than faster velocities (~1 second eccentrics and concentrics), while faster velocities may lead to more biceps growth. Specifically, three of five studies found greater quad hypertrophy with slower rep velocities (two found no difference), while two studies found greater biceps hypertrophy with faster rep velocities. However, this systematic review covered just six studies, so the findings are very tentative.
The efficacy of resistance training in hypoxia to enhance strength and muscle growth: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Ramos-Campo et al. (2018)
Similar to the strength findings from this same meta-analysis (presented earlier in this article), hypertrophy was similar when training under both hypoxic and normoxic conditions. Again, there weren’t many studies included in this meta-analysis, so results are very tentative.
The effects of short versus long inter-set rest intervals in resistance training on measures of muscle hypertrophy: A systematic review. Grgic et al. (2017)
There were six studies included in this analysis comparing short (20-60 seconds) and long (>60 seconds) rest intervals. Hypertrophy tended to be greater with longer rest intervals (9.2% vs. 5.8%), but there was considerable heterogeneity. Ultimately, the authors simply conclude that robust hypertrophy can occur with both short and longer rest intervals, but that more research is needed.
Dose–Response Relationships of Resistance Training in Healthy Old Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Borde et al. (2015)
The table for hypertrophy recommendations was previously presented. Again, just notice how the recommendations for older adults largely mirror those for younger adults, except that recommended volume and intensity is a bit lower.
