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% (P<0.001).
Why the study?
The impact of sustained strength training on cardiac biventricular structure and function has received less attention than adaptation to endurance training.

p-value: p=<.001
A 20-week high-intensity strength training program safely and significantly increased muscle strength in untrained young men, providing a validated protocol for subsequent cardiac adaptation studies.
Pamart et al. (2023) studied Healthy, untrained men (n=27). High-intensity strength training program vs. Baseline (pre-training) was evaluated on 1-repetition maximum (RM) testing for various muscle groups (p=<.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% (P<0.001).
