Shoulder angle and muscle growth study
This study looks at how the angle of your shoulder during certain exercises affects muscle growth in your back and arms. You'll do supervised weight training, and they'll use MRI scans to measure changes in your muscles over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 19 and 30 years old.
- You need to have done planned weight training for at least 2 hours a week for the past year or more.
- You must be able to read and speak English well enough to follow the study instructions.
- You should be in generally good health, without major medical conditions like heart disease, diabetes, or cancer, and not using nicotine products.
- You must be able to have an MRI scan, meaning no metal in your body (like pacemakers or certain IUDs), and no recent tattoos or surgery in the last 6 weeks.
