Forest plots displaying network estimates for relative effects of resistance training prescriptions versus non-exercising control for strength (A) and hypertrophy (B). Each resistance training prescription (RTx) is denoted with a three-character acronym—XY#—where X is load (H, ≥80% 1-repetition maximum (1RM); L, <80% 1 RM); Y is sets (M, multiset; S, single-set); and # is the weekly frequency (3, ≥3 days/week; 2, 2 days/week; 1, 1 day/week), respectively. For example, ‘HM2’ denotes higher-load, multiset, twice-weekly training. CTRL, non-exercising control; SMD, standardised mean difference; 95% CrI, 95% credible interval.
