Which periodization is better (traditional vs undulating) to induce changes in body composition and strength of healthy young adults?

The present study intends to investigate which type ofprogramming is most effective for improving strength andbody composition in untrained young men. A total of 41 menparticipated (22.5 ± 2.8 years old, 75.6 ± 5.5 kg, 175.3 ± 8.4cm, 24.6 ± 1.8 kg · m-2) which were divided into two groups;Traditiona...

Description
Summary:The present study intends to investigate which type ofprogramming is most effective for improving strength andbody composition in untrained young men. A total of 41 menparticipated (22.5 ± 2.8 years old, 75.6 ± 5.5 kg, 175.3 ± 8.4cm, 24.6 ± 1.8 kg · m-2) which were divided into two groups;Traditional periodization and Undulating periodization. Aprogram of eight weeks of training including back and chestexercises were applied twice a week for the two groups. Bothfat mass and fat-free mass were measured by Dual-energyX-ray absorptiometry, as well as the maximum repetition(RM) of the bench press and row by measuring the speed ofexecution with a linear encoder and the resting heart ratebefore and after the program. Data were analyzed usingmagnitude-based inference. Changes in athletes’ scoreswere assessed by using effect sizes and 90% confidenceintervals. The differences within the group in pre-trainingand post-training were evaluated using the standardizedeffect size. Improvements in 1RM row, resting heart rateand fat-free mass were observed not possible to determinewhich training periodization produces greater adaptationsin both groups with a possible and probable inference.
