Comparison Of Multiple Sets And Single Set Of Resistance Training On Muscle Strength And Power, Junyoung Hong Feb 2015

Comparison Of Multiple Sets And Single Set Of Resistance Training On Muscle Strength And Power, Junyoung Hong

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

Studies have been conducted to investigate the effects of different resistance training modalities on muscle strength and power in order to improve physical performance, yet to date findings have been inconclusive. Optimal resistance programs for muscular responses to high and low volume resistance training still need to be explored. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of multiple sets (70% of 1RM, 3 sets/10 reps) and a single set (50-100% of 1RM, 1 set/up to 8 reps) of resistance training on muscular strength and power in healthy male college students. A total of 19 students were randomly …
