Effects
of different rest intervals between antagonist paired sets on
repetition performance and muscle activation. J Strength
Cond Res 28(9): 2529–2535, 2014—Recent evidence
suggests that exercising the antagonist musculature acutely
enhances subsequent performance for the agonist musculature.
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of
different rest intervals between sets for exercises that involve
antagonistic muscle groups, a technique referred to as
antagonist paired sets (APS). Fifteen recreationally trained
men were tested for knee extension (KE) exercise performance,
with or without previous knee flexion (KF) exercise
for the antagonist musculature. The following protocols were
performed in random …
