Effects of Variations in Resistance Training Frequency on Strength Development in Well-Trained Populations and Implications for In-Season Athlete Training: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Methodology

Meta-analysis

Population

Well-trained populations and in-season athletes

Intervention

Different training frequencies in trained populations

Findings

In well-trained populations, higher frequency with volume equated did not produce significantly greater strength gains, suggesting that in trained individuals volume and intensity matter more than frequency.

Outcome measures

Maximal strength (1RM)

Limitations

Limited studies in well-trained; heterogeneity; small samples.
