- Brief 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.

Group Intervention Description Hyper Training Group Hyper Training 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 repetitions with 90 seconds of rest between sets and elbows had to be fully locked out to be counted as a repetition, 1.5 seconds for concentric and 1.5 seconds for eccentric portion. 1 Repetition Maximum Group 1 Repetition maximum training group 2 training session per week for 2 months, 1 set of 10 unloaded repetitions in arms as a warm-up, training protocol 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.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Dynamometer • 0 week • 4th week • 8th week To measure the strength after resistance training
NCS (Motor Nerve Conduction Study) • 0 week • 8th week To determine how fast or slow the nerves are conducting an electrical current using F wave
EEG (Electroencephalography) • 0 week • 8th week To measure the electrical activity of the brain using alpha and beta waves
Estimation of Albumin & Globulin ratio • 0 week • 8th week To measure the total amount of protein in blood and effects of resistance training
