Resistance Exercise

Eligibility:

All Genders

20-35 years

Phase:

NA

Brief Summary

Traditionally, when performing resistance exercise, repetitions are performed in a continuous manner resulting in a decrease in velocity, and thus power output. "Cluster" set is an alternative to coun...

Detailed Description

The present study will be testing the effect of rest configuration on muscle protein synthesis. The protocols selected by the researchers were cluster set and traditional set, details will be explaine...
