Summary

This study explores the effects of varying volumes of resistance training on body composition, strength, peak power, and muscle thickness in untrained women over eight weeks. A randomized controlled trial involving 45 female college students assessed the outcomes across three groups: low-volume training (LVT) with three weekly sessions, moderate-volume training (MVT) with four weekly sessions, and high-volume training (HVT) with five weekly sessions. Participants were untrained, aged 18-65, and free from cardiovascular diseases or performance-enhancing drugs.

The hypothesis suggested that moderate volume training would yield optimal muscle development, considering the potential non-linear dose-response relationship where excessive training might be detrimental. Measurements included body composition, muscle thickness, and peak power through a force platform during vertical jumps.

Data analysis focused on changes in muscle thickness, strength, and body composition, with statistical significance set at p \< 0.05. The study aimed to provide insights into how different training volumes affect physiological adaptations in untrained women, potentially guiding fitness regimen optimizations for similar populations.
