Summary

The novelty of this study is to identify the mechanism of nervous system by applying resistance training intervention in healthy individuals.

Detailed description

Resistance training is a form of exercise that is popular particularly for its role in improving athletic performance by increasing muscular strength, power and speed, hypertrophy, local muscular endurance, motor performance, balance and coordination. The objective of the study is to find out the effects of resistance training on Central and Peripheral Nervous System in healthy individuals. A total of 100 participants will be included in the study including both male and female. The study will be divided into two main groups. Experimental group will perform 8-12 Reps with 1.5 sec concentric and 1.5 sec eccentric contraction of bench press with 90 sec of rest between sets with 2 sets per week for 2 months. 1RM of control group will be calculated through the same method and the training protocol for the Control group consisted of 5 attempts to lift as much weight as possible one time for that training visit with 90 seconds of rest between attempts. The load was progressively increased each attempt to try to reach or exceed their previous 1RM.

Conditions

• Resistance Training

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Hyper Training	Experimental group will perform 2 training session per week for 2 months, 1 set of 10 unloaded repetitions in arms as a warm-up, 4 sets with a goal of 8-12 Reps with 90 seconds rest between sets. 1.5 second concentric and 1.5 second eccentric contraction of bench press, The elbows had to be fully locked out to be counted as a repetition.
OTHER	1 Repetition maximum training group	2 training session per week for 8 weeks, 1 set of 10 unloaded repetitions in arms as a warm-up, 1 Repetition maximum training group consisted of 5 attempts to lift as much weight as possible one time for that training visit with 90 seconds of rest between attempts, the load was progressively increased each attempt to try to reach or exceed their previous 1 repetition maximum.
