Research in Lehman’s Human Performance Lab Featured in Prevention

Prevention spotlighted Lehman research led by Professor of Exercise Science Brad Schoenfeld and faculty in the Human Performance and Fitness Lab, which found that shorter strength training sessions can still be effective, and suggested that even the busiest people can develop a healthy exercise routine without spending hours at the gym.
Their study, published in September, showed that a twice-weekly, 30-minute, single-set weightlifting routine produced measurable gains in muscle size and strength.
