The Claim
The magnitude of observed muscle hypertrophy following resistance training depends on the specific measurement tool used, as different indices (thigh girth, net thigh girth, ultrasound thickness) showed varying patterns of change across training groups.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When people lift weights to build muscle, how much muscle they seem to gain depends on how you measure it—different ways of measuring show different results.

What the research says
1 studyStudy: Gross measures of exercise-induced muscular hypertrophy.
The study found that different ways of measuring muscle growth after exercise showed different results, which matches the claim that the tool you use to measure matters.
