Evidence for Assertion
Why relevant:
Why true:The study demonstrates that progressive overload leads to significant gains in muscle mass and strength through a randomized controlled trial.
How it is true:The study conducted a randomized controlled trial and found significant differences between the progressive overload group and the control group, indicating that progressive overload is essential for muscle growth and strength gains.
ELI5
- The study tested the effect of progressive overload on muscle growth and strength.
- The results showed that the progressive overload group had significant gains in muscle mass and strength compared to the control group.
- This means that progressive overload is essential for achieving muscle hypertrophy and strength gains.
