The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of the four-week two strength training program on the skin fold thickness and body fat percentage (BFP) characteristics according to the maximal strength and strength endurance principles. Sixteen male volunteers participated in the study. The subjects were divided into two groups as the maximal strength group (MSG, n=8, Age=24.00±3.78 year, Height=172.25±2.19 cm, Weight=75.13±6.60 kg) and the strength endurance group (SEG, n=8, Age=25.13±3.09 year, Height=173.38±2.62 cm, Weight=77.00±7.54 kg). 4 weeks training program was applied to maximal strength group according to maximal strength training principles and applied to strength endurance group according to strength endurance training principles. In both groups, body weight, body mass index (BMI), skin fold thickness (triceps, biceps, pectoral, subscapula, abdominal, suprailiac, femur anterior and posterior, calf) and body fat percentage measurements were taken one day before and after the 4 week period. Between pre-test and post-test of SEG group, significant change was showed in triceps, biceps, pectoral, subscapula, abdominal, suprailiac, femur anterior and posterior skin fold thickness measurements and VFM parameters (p < 0.05). Significant change was determined in pre-test and post-test of MSG group in triceps, pectoral, subscapula, abdominal, suprailiac, femur anterior skin fold thickness measurements and VFM parameters (p < 0.05). When the pre-post test differences of the groups were compared, no difference was found between MSG and SEG groups (p > 0.05). As a result, it can be said that 4-week maximal strength training and strength endurance training have positive effects on the skin fold thickness and body fat percentage parameters.

Effects of a programme for years enderers physical force on the muscle and body composition of adults2008 •
The aim of this study was to observe the effects of a concurrent physical training programme (PTFC) on the muscle strength and body composition of adults. The sample was composed of 54 men, non-athletes, who were split into two groups: the experimental group (EG, n=42, 45±8.46 years of age) and the control group (CG, n=12, 47.17±7.41 years of age). Body composition was assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and muscle strength was assessed by testing the repetition maximum (1 RM). The PTFC was composed of race training sessions in the Fatmax intensity zone and strength training. The training sessions were conducted three times a week for 40 min each over a period of 24 weeks. Statistical analysis of the data consisted of a descriptive and inferential analysis: Shapiro-Wilk (normality) and multiple comparisons (ANOVA 2×2). For this study, p<0.05 indicated statistical significance. Significant increases in 1RMs (p=0.001) and 1RMa (p=0.000) were found when comparing the post-test to the intra-EG values. The inter-group analysis revealed an increase in muscle strength in the 1RMa post-test (p=0.005) in favour of the EG group. Importantly, no significant changes in body composition were observed between the groups.

Effect of Small and Large Energy Surpluses on Strength, Muscle, and Skinfold Thickness in Resistance-Trained Individuals: A Parallel Groups DesignBackground Many perform resistance training (RT) to increase muscle mass and strength. Energy surpluses are advised to support such gains; however, if too large, could cause unnecessary fat gain. We randomized 21 trained lifters performing RT 3 d/wk for eight weeks into maintenance energy (MAIN), moderate (5% [MOD]), and high (15% [HIGH]) energy surplus groups to determine if skinfold thicknesses (ST), squat and bench one-repetition maximum (1-RM), or biceps brachii, triceps brachii, or quadriceps muscle thicknesses (MT) differed by group. COVID-19 reduced our sample, leaving 17 completers. Thus, in addition to Bayesian ANCOVA comparisons, we analyzed changes in body mass (BM) with ST, 1-RM, and MT changes via regression. We reported Bayes factors (BF10) indicating odds ratios of the relative likelihood of hypotheses (e.g., BF10 = 2 indicates the hypothesis is twice as likely as another) and coefficients of determination (R2) for regressions. Results ANCOVAs provided no evidence sup...

This study examined the effects of two different resistance loads during high-intensity Functional Training (HIFT) on body composition and maximal strength. Thirty-one healthy young individuals were randomly assigned into three groups: moderate load (ML: 70% 1-RM), low load-(LL: 30% 1-RM), and control (CON). Each experimental group performed HIFT three times per week for 12 weeks with a similar total volume load. Body fat decreased equally in both experimental groups after 6 weeks of training (p < 0.001), but at the end of training it further decreased only in LL compared to ML (−3.19 ± 1.59 vs. −1.64 ± 1.44 kg, p < 0.001), with no change in CON (0.29 ± 1.08 kg, p = 0.998). Lean body mass (LBM) increased after 6 weeks of training (p = 0.019) in ML only, while after 12 weeks a similar increase was observed in LL and ML (1.11 ± 0.65 vs. ML: 1.25 ± 1.59 kg, p = 0.034 and 0.013, respectively), with no change in CON (0.34 ± 0.67 kg, p = 0.991). Maximal strength increased similarly ...

Effect of Body Fat and BMI on Muscle Strength and Endurance in Young Adults: A Cross-sectional StudyIntroduction: Muscle strength and endurance are key determinants of physical fitness, cardiometabolic profile, and overall health. Clinically, they are tested by estimating Handgrip Strength (HGS) and Handgrip Endurance (HGE) through an isometric contraction of the flexors of the forearm and hand. Body Mass Index (BMI) and body fat content can both influence muscle performance, but there are wide variations regarding their effects. BMI and body fat also do not show unequivocal similarity to each other. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine and compare the effects of BMI and body fat on muscle strength and endurance. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Physiology, Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences, Swami Rama Himalayan University, Jolly Grant, Dehradun from April 2019 to March 2020. A total of 100 subjects who fulfilled the selection criteria were included. BMI and body fat were measured, and HGS and HGE were recor...
