Resistance training volume does not influence lean mass preservation during energy restriction in trained males

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 20-35, January 2023., 2023
This study investigated the effects of a relatively high‐ versus moderate‐volume resistance training program on changes in lean mass during caloric restriction. Thirty‐eight resistance‐trained males were randomized to perform either a high‐volume (HVG; 5 sets/exercise) or a moderate‐volume (MVG; 3 sets/exercise) resistance training program. Both groups
