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...
