What this work gives Aellic
DOES NOT SUPPORT THE RECOMMENDATION ATTRIBUTED TO IT — and contradicts it. It is not a review but a randomised trial, and its result reads: a deload week in the middle of a 9-week programme “appears to negatively influence measures of lower body muscle strength but has no effect on lower body hypertrophy, power or local muscular endurance”. A recommendation of “every 3–6 weeks” appears nowhere in it. Until 2026-07-25 this source stood in Aellic for the opposite of what it shows; the observed intervals are now carried by rogerson2024 .
Where this sits in the engine
This work is on the register, but nothing computes with it today — mostly because the feature it belongs to has not been built yet. It is listed so the numbers on the overview do not claim more than they carry.
