Tokyo, April 18 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000061300) titled 'Differences in muscle hypertrophy induced by single-joint and multi-joint exercises and their synergistic effects' on April 17.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Parallel Randomization - Randomized Blinding - Open -but assessor(s) are blinded Control - Active

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Ritsumeikan University

Condition: Condition - Healthy young individuals Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - To compare the effects of single-joint and multi-joint exercises on muscle hypertrophy and to examine the potential synergistic effects of their combination. Basic objectives2 - Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - Participants will perform a resistance training program twice weekly for 12 weeks. One leg will be trained using a single-joint exercise (knee extension), while the contralateral leg will be trained using a multi-joint exercise (leg press). Each training session will be performed with a prescribed number of repetitions and sets for each leg. Interventions/Control_2 - Participants will perform a resistance training program twice weekly for 12 weeks. One leg will be trained using a combination of single-joint and multi-joint exercises within the same session, whereas the contralateral leg will be trained using the same exercises distributed across different sessions. Each training session will be performed with a prescribed number of repetitions and sets for each leg.

Eligibility: Age-lower limit - 18 years-old = Gender - Male and Female Key inclusion criteria - Hyealthy young adults Key exclusion criteria - 1. Individuals who have performed the training exercises used in this study or squat training at least twice per week for 12 weeks or more within the past year, or who are currently engaged in such training. 2. Individuals who are unable to provide informed consent. 3. Individuals with a history of claustrophobia. 4. Individuals who are pregnant. 5. Individuals with a history of epileptic seizures. 6. Individuals with implanted medical devices such as cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators, or artificial heart valves. 7. Individuals with metal in their body (e.g., dental orthodontic bridges, crowns depending on material, clips, etc.). 8. Individuals with tattoos (as tattoo ink may react to magnetic fields). Target Size - 40
