How to build your first program, how the app stores supersets and drop sets, what each component of training load answers, and the design decisions that shape the product.
A 602-person trial and a meta-analysis of 16 studies both confirm gamification raises activity while it runs — and both show how much that gain shrinks once the incentive ends.
Read the articleGroup cohesion is linked to better exercise adherence — but the effect only shows up once the group is actually designed to build cohesion. The newest update found a much smaller advantage than the classic finding.
Read the articleWrist heart rate during resistance training is accurate for some exercises and far less so for others, according to two controlled studies — and calories remain the watch's weakest number.
Read the articleWith weekly volume matched, higher frequency improves strength more consistently than hypertrophy. Two controlled studies show the pattern, and where the choice becomes real preference.
Read the articleStudies comparing perceived exertion with cortisol, lactate and CK show it tracking real physiological strain — and matching the RPE asked set by set. Why PulsoGym asks for it only once, at the end.
Read the articleTonnage and RPE per session already answer whether training is getting heavier. A 16-week study with 64 people shows why that number never climbs in a straight line.
Read the articleOne pairs the same muscle group, the other alternates different groups on purpose. What the research supports about each against traditional training — and what has not been tested head to head.
Read the articleTwo controlled studies show effort changing just because a person saw a number — before any change to the plan itself. What the feedback literature says, and what still hasn't been tested.
Read the articleLong rest wins consistently for strength; for hypertrophy the advantage exists, but it is small and uncertain. What the literature shows, and where that becomes density in the app.
Read the articleLinear, undulating and block periodisation compared in non-competitive lifters — what the recent literature supports, and what the evidence still does not settle.
Read the articleFrom the empty program to your first logged session: days, regular exercises, drop sets and supersets, with the app's real screens.
Ler o tutorialWhy neither method fits in a notes field — and what changes in the volume calculation when they become real structure.
Read the articleFour numbers that fall out of the prescription on their own — and what each one answers about the real cost of a training day.
Read the articleDescribing one session is always true. Recommending based on one alone is an expensive mistake. The difference between the two organises the whole module.
