The Claim
No studies have investigated the effect of range of motion on hypertrophy of the trunk musculature, resulting in a critical gap in the evidence base for prescribing core training in resistance programs.
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.
No one has studied whether doing exercises with a full or limited range of motion makes your core muscles grow bigger, so we don’t know the best way to train them for muscle growth.
See the scientific wording
No studies have investigated how range of motion affects hypertrophy of the trunk musculature, leaving a critical gap in evidence for core training prescription in resistance programs.
What the research says
1 studyThis study looked at how moving your muscles through full or partial motions affects muscle growth, but it didn’t study the core muscles in your trunk — and it says no one else has studied them either. So it supports the claim that we’re missing key info for core training.
