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.
