ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how different amounts of resistance training using a special device called an inertial flywheel can help men who have not been actively exercising build muscle strength and improve their fitness. Resistance training is important for overall health, as it can enhance physical abilities, balance, and even mental well-being. The study specifically looks at whether doing more sets of this type of training can lead to better muscle growth and strength improvements.

To participate in this trial, men aged between 18 and 45 who speak Portuguese and have not engaged in traditional resistance workouts for at least six months are eligible. Participants will not have any recent injuries or serious health issues, and they will need to follow certain dietary guidelines during the study. Throughout the trial, participants can expect to take part in initial and final tests to measure their progress, while contributing to important research aimed at optimizing training methods for better health outcomes.
