I'm not a native english speaker so please don't kill me for my grammar.

I'm doing my bachelors and i'm writing about strength training imapct on total physical efficiency/funcionality.
I got the subject covered for bachelors as far, but stupid policies make me add more bibliography to my paper. So i'm looking for +/- 15 articels about strenght training, physical efficiency and the corelation between those two, mainly the corelation itself.
It might sound totally stupid but i wonder if any of you guys (cloudkicker f.e.) can give me any tips on how to search pubmed for rather basic articles about those two stated above. I get the point that you just type the keywords lol, but i'm looking maybe for some protips?
My paper is focued on young men/students who perform strength training.

well, searching on pubmed can be done in different manners:
u can name a bunch of subject that u all want in the article:
ex: Strength AND Training AND Physical efficiency (u put the AND between each)
or if u want only one:
ex: Strength OR Training OR Physical efficiency (put the OR between each)
Or u can just type a sentence that says what u are searching for inbetween '' ''
''Correlation between strength training and physical efficiency''

Hope that helps, gl.

I just realized the correct term is "physical fitness", hard to believe but yeah, that's it.

Oh okay so what you can do to make sure you're grabbing all of the articles in your search that are relevant is think of other search terms that may mean something similar. For example, strength training and resistance training mean essentially the same thing but if you search for only one you might miss out on papers that call it the other. This is where you use boolean language a little bit. If you want to find papers at the intersection of resistance training and physical fitness you toss an AND in between them so your search becomes "resistance training AND physical fitness" . If you want to get broad strokes you can add in an OR term to include both resistance training and strength training as the same thing. Your search now becomes "resistance training OR strength training AND physical fitness" which will bring back all papers that have to do with resistance training or strength training as well as physical fitness.
