Key result
A 20-week high-intensity strength training program significantly increased maximal muscle strength in previously untrained young men, with 1-RM gains ranging from 40% to 106% across various exercises.
Why the study?
The impact of sustained strength training on cardiac biventricular structure and function has received less attention than physiological cardiac adaptation to endurance training.

Absolute Event Rate: 125.4% vs 69.6%
p-value: p=<0.001
A 20-week high-intensity strength training program significantly increases maximal muscle strength in previously untrained young men, establishing a protocol for future evaluation of cardiac remodeling.
Pamart et al. (2023) conducted a cohort in Healthy, untrained men (n=27). High-intensity strength training program vs. Baseline (pretraining) was evaluated on 1-RM leg extension (p=<0.001). A 20-week high-intensity strength training program significantly increased maximal muscle strength in previously untrained young men, with 1-RM gains ranging from 40% to 106% across various exercises.
