Abstract
The rapid integration of digital technologies into sports sciences education has transformed traditional approaches to teaching strength training and muscle hypertrophy. Digital Variable Resistance (DVR) systems enable precise load modulation, real-time feedback, and data-driven monitoring of training variables, offering new pedagogical opportunities for experiential and personalized learning. The purpose of this article is to analyze current educational trends in sports sciences related to teaching muscle hypertrophy through digital resistance training technologies. Drawing on recent research in resistance training physiology, digital training systems, and technology-enhanced learning, this paper explores how DVR-based training can improve students’ understanding of progressive overload, neuromuscular adaptation, and hypertrophic mechanisms. The analysis highlights the educational value of digital resistance training for curriculum innovation, active learning, and objective assessment in higher education and vocational fitness programs. The findings support the integration of digital resistance technologies as effective instructional tools for bridging theoretical knowledge and applied practice in sports sciences education.
