Official title
Hip Thrust and Back Squat Training Elicit Similar Gluteus Muscle Hypertrophy and Transfer Similarly to the Deadlift
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study compared the effects of two lower-body resistance training exercises - the barbell back squat and the barbell hip thrust - on muscle growth and strength in untrained young adults. Thirty-four participants were randomly assigned to train using either the back squat or the hip thrust, two times per week for nine weeks. Muscle size (via MRI) and strength (via weightlifting tests) were measured before and after training to determine whether one exercise produced greater improvements than the other, particularly in the gluteal muscles. Muscle activity during the first training session was also measured using surface electromyography (sEMG) to see whether early muscle activation could predict later muscle growth.
