resistance training

Participants from TG performed program, executed in 3 sets of 10-15RM, 3 times per week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The RT program was composed of 8 exercises comprising one exercise with free weights and seven with machines performed in the following order: chest press, horizontal leg press, seated row, knee extension, preacher curl (free weights), leg curl, triceps pushdown, and seated calf raise. All participants were personally supervised by physical education professionals with substantial RT experience to help ensure consistent and safe exercise performance. Participants were instructed to inhale during the eccentric phase and exhale during the concentric phase while maintaining a constant velocity of movement at a ratio of approximately 1:2 seconds (concentric and eccentric phases, respectively). Participants were afforded 1 to 2 min of rest between sets and 2 to 3 min between each exercise. The average duration of each session lasted approximately 50-60 minutes.
