Summary

To evaluate the effectiveness of the Isolated Back Extension (ILEX) machine Myosom and examine the influence of preheating on resistance training, the investigators will recruit a cohort of 14 healthy individuals, including both male and female participants, who have no prior experience with ILEX training, for a 9-week training program consisting of a total of 18 sessions. Baseline (BL) measurements will be conducted in the week before the initiation of training, and two follow-up measurements (F/U 1 and F/U 2) carried out after the ninth and eighteenth sessions, with a minimum break of 48 hours after the last training session to ensure proper recovery and to prevent inaccuracies in muscle thickness measurement arising due to acute oedema.
