... A total of 747 healthy men and women with an average age of 23.4 ± 3.0 yr participated in the included studies. Seventeen studies compared low-versus high-load resistance training (2,5,6,33,34,36,38,39,(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(49)(50)(51)53), four compared lowversus moderate-load (35,40,47,52), five compared moderateversus high-load (7,32,37,41,48), and two studies compared low-versus moderate-versus high-load (3,4 (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)32,(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)43,44,49,50), followed by 8 studies assessing the upper limbs (4,7,32,34,45,47,48,50) and 5 studies assessing the whole body (e.g., dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry) (33,40,42,46,53), whereas lower-body muscle strength was assessed in 20 studies (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)32,33,35,(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)46,48,(50)(51)(52), followed by 12 studies assessing upper-body muscle strength (2,4,7,33,40,41,43,45,47,48,50,51), all using the 1-RM test. Eighteen studies reported the total volume performed during the intervention (4,5,7,(32)(33)(34)(35)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)48,50). ...
