Investigating the Role of Resistance Exercise Frequency in the Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Mass

NCT03275779 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 9

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will investigate whether manipulating resistance exercise frequency impacts muscle protein synthesis rates. The investigators will test the hypothesise that a higher resistance exercise frequency will result in greater muscle protein synthesis rates than a lower resistance exercise frequency.

Conditions

  • Physical Activity

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Low Frequency Condition

Young, untrained participants complete 7 days of habitual physical activity followed by a 7 day period where participants complete a single bout of unilateral resistance exercise.

BEHAVIORAL

High Frequency Condition

Young, untrained participants complete 7 days of habitual physical activity followed by a 7 day period where participants complete the same total volume of resistance exercise as the low frequency condition as five smaller bouts of unilateral resistance exercise.
