Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that morphological adaptations will be found in the vastus lateralis muscle, as measured by blood antioxidant biomarkers, after a 16-week period of resistance training. This will be verified through ultrasound and plasma analysis, based on a variation of at least 5% in pre- and post-intervention measurements. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
