Skeletal Muscle Enlargement
Conditions
Interventions
A randomized longitudinal study with within-subject design will be conducted involving 15 young adults. The research will consist of three stages: 1) pre-training assessments
2) the implementation of a resistance training program, which will consist of three sessions per week for 10 weeks
3) post-training assessments. All assessments and training will take place at the School of Physical Education and Sports in Ribeirão Preto. Pre-training assessments will be conducted on two separate

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| After intervention, we expect a significative increase in the maximum isometric torque (Nm) of elbow extension and flexion for both co-contraction and resistance training groups. We expect that both groups will improve similarly. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| After intervention, we expect a significative increase in the muscle thickness (mm) of elbow extensors and flexors muscles for both co-contraction and resistance training groups. We expect that both groups will improve similarly. | — |
