Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aims of this study were to:

1. Compare the effects of low-dose Maximal Intent and Controlled Tempo Resistance Training on untrained healthy adults' quality-of-life, functional capacity, and strength.
2. Qualitatively explore perceptions of Maximal Intent and Controlled Tempo Resistance Training.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Maximal-intent Resistance Training

The MI group was instructed and encouraged to deliberately commit to exerting maximal effort and force during the concentric phase of the leg press with the intention of achieving the greatest velocity possible.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Leg Press Resistance Training Machine

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants used said unilateral leg press at 60% one-repetition max for either 3 sets x 5 reps, or 5 sets x 5 reps, at either maximal- or controlled-tempo-intent.

Controlled-tempo Resistance Training

While the CT group followed the metronome for both eccentric and concentric phases.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Leg Press Resistance Training Machine

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants used said unilateral leg press at 60% one-repetition max for either 3 sets x 5 reps, or 5 sets x 5 reps, at either maximal- or controlled-tempo-intent.
