How different set configurations in resistance training can lead to different muscle responses.
A new study has shown that lower-repetition sets with shorter and more frequent interset rest intervals may attenuate impairments in mechanical performance. The study, which was published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, found that this type of set configuration may reduce neuromuscular alterations, reduce metabolic stress, and better maintain muscle contractile properties. The study’s authors say that these findings could have important implications for athletes and coaches who are looking to improve their performance.
