Health claim
“Follow an upper body/lower body split routine”
Claim checked — mixed / earlyLow riskexercise
Evidence Summary
Some evidence supports this, but findings are inconsistent or limited in scope.
Upper/lower split routines are a commonly used training method that can be effective for strength and hypertrophy, but research shows they are comparable to other programs (full‑body or push/pull) and the best routine depends on individual goals, experience, and schedule.
