Protocol summary

Study aim
The effect of two resistance training protocols with different intensities on muscle hypertrophy and hormonal responses in track and field athletes
Design
In a randomized clinical trial design, with parallel group, 45 track and field athletes are randomly assigned to one of three high-intensity, low-intensity or control groups. The measurements will be performed in five steps including pre-test, after one training session, after 12-week training and following four weeks of detraining.
Settings and conduct
This study will be conducted in the city of Garmian in Iraq Kurdistan. After installing the announcement at the university of Garmian, subjects will be selected among the eligible individuals based on inclusion criteria.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Young men in track and field athletes who have not had a history of regular resistance training, metabolic-skeletal diseases, and taking sports supplements during the last six months are selected as a sample.
Intervention groups
Subjects are divided into three groups: High intensity and Low-volume resistance training, Low-intensity and High-volume resistance training, and the control group (without resistance training program).
Main outcome variables
The results of this study can show the best resistance training protocol to increase muscle hypertrophy, as well as the best training method to develop muscle strength and endurance.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Subjects based on simple random sampling are assigned into High-intensity, Low-intensity or control groups. For this purpose, each subject will be assigned a code (1 to 45) randomly. Then, in the form of a lottery, the first 15 people are placed in the high-intensity resistance training group. Similarly, the second 15 and the third 15 are assigned in the low-intensity resistance training group and the control group, respectively.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: High-intensity and low volume resistance training group: This program lasts for 12 weeks, three sessions per week and each session includes seven resistance movements in three sets with an intensity of 70 to 80% of 1-RM (with 90-second rest intervals between movements). Each set continues until exhaustion. After a 12-week training program subjects experience four weeks of detraining (without any resistance training).
