About

The aims of this study were to:

  1. Compare the effects of low-dose Maximal Intent and Controlled Tempo Resistance Training on untrained healthy adults' quality-of-life, functional capacity, and strength.
  2. Qualitatively explore perceptions of Maximal Intent and Controlled Tempo Resistance Training.

20 participants in 2 patient groups

Maximal-intent Resistance Training
Experimental group
Description:
The MI group was instructed and encouraged to deliberately commit to exerting maximal effort and force during the concentric phase of the leg press with the intention of achieving the greatest velocity possible.
Treatment:
Other: Leg Press Resistance Training Machine
Controlled-tempo Resistance Training
Experimental group
Description:
While the CT group followed the metronome for both eccentric and concentric phases.
Treatment:
Other: Leg Press Resistance Training Machine
