High intensity Low volume versus Moderate intensity High volume, is one better than the other?
Athletes & everyday functioning people have a time, whether it's in season or on vacation/travel, where training time is decreased compared to the typical routine. And with that less training time we start to worry at what point will I start to see decrements in my abilities, things like strength and muscle size? This investigation dives into comparing two groups of training, one using high intensity with low volume training, compared to moderate intensity and higher volume training. The kicker is, what if each group only trained for 1 session per week over 6-weeks in time. Is that going to be enough to maintain strength or maybe even improve some attributes? Be sure to tune in for the full episode, very interesting findings!
