(Evidence‑based, practical, ready to implement)





Goal Key Metric Target


Maximize lean‑body‑mass gain Lean mass ↑ / Fat ↓ +1–2 kg lean in 12 wk; Note: All supplementation should be discussed with a healthcare provider or registered dietitian before initiation, especially in adolescents.

7. Practical Implementation



Goal Action Plan


Strength & Power 3–4 sessions/week of periodized resistance training (progressive overload).


Hypertrophy Focus on moderate to high volume (3–5 sets per exercise, 8–12 reps), rest 60–90 s.


Cardiovascular Fitness 2–3 aerobic sessions/week (running, cycling, HIIT) lasting 20–40 min.


Flexibility & Mobility Daily dynamic warm‑ups before training; static stretching or yoga post‑training.


Nutrition Calorie surplus (~250–500 kcal/day), protein 1.6–2.0 g/kg, balanced macros, adequate hydration.


Recovery Sleep ≥7–8 h/night, active recovery days, consider foam rolling and massage.
