Are We Getting the Full Picture? A Systematic Review of the Assessment of Resistance Training Behavior
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The measurement of resistance training (RT) is often based on adaptations of aerobic physical activity measures which may not contain the elements necessary to assess RT. The purpose of this systematic review was to examine what measures are used to assess RT and appraise their composition. Specifically, the inclusion of frequency, duration, intensity, the use of major muscle groups, reps, and sets. Search terms included “resistance training,” “strength training,” OR “weight training” AND “behavior” OR “participation.” Studies were evaluated based on whether RT measures assessed the key components of participation. In the 92 included studies, only one of the six components of the RT recommendations was assessed on average. This was almost exclusively frequency. Many assessments of RT were adapted from aerobic measures without rigorous validity evidence. Construct validity in RT measurement may lead to improved public health recommendations, surveillance of behavior, and precision in determining effective interventions and correlates.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
