Introduction: Manipulation of resistance training variables allows the maintenance the performance of the proposed exercise. Objetctive: To evaluation the acute effects of different rest intervals on maximum repetition performance, perceived exertion, and fatigue index on bench press. Methods: Following ten-repetition maximum testing and retesting, four experimental sessions involved seven bench press sets to concentric failure with the goal of completing the maximum number of repetitions, which included: 1) one-minute rest interval between sets (P1), 2) two-minute rest interval between sets (P2), three-minute rest interval between sets (P3), and five-minute rest interval between sets (P5). Results: A main result was observed in maximum repetition performance for all sets (p0.001). In the fatigue index, only P3 and P5 showed significant differences compared to all other protocols (p0.001). Besides, the perceived exertion shows a similar trend to fatigue index for longer rest intervals. Conclusion: Reducing the maximum repetition performance in shorter intervals is an important tool for reducing the total workout time.

OBJETIVO: Comparar volume total e número repetições máximas (nRM) que pode ser realizado nos exercícios rosca direta (RD) e tríceps na polia (TP), variando a ordem de execução, nos métodos tradicional (TRAD) e série pareada agonista-antagonista (SPAA). MÉTODOS: Doze indivíduos (22±3,5 anos) com experiência em treinamento resistido (TR), compareceram a 10 sessões com intervalo de 48 a 72 horas entre elas. Após avaliação antropométrica, três sessões de familiarização e realização de testes de uma repetição máxima (1-RM) e reprodutibilidade de 1-RM, foram realizados quatro protocolos experimentais para mensuração do nRM, utilizando 70% de 1-RM: TRAD1 (quatro séries no exercício RD + quatro séries no exercício TP); TRAD2 (quatro séries no exercício TP + quatro séries no exercício RD); SPAA1 (quatro séries no exercício RD e TP) e; SPAA2 (quatro séries no exercício TP e RD). Sob o método TRAD, foram implementados intervalos de 90 segundos entre todas séries realizadas; um intervalo de descanso de dois minutos foi implementado entre a conclusão da última série do primeiro exercício e a primeira série do segundo exercício (RD + TP ou TP + RD). Sob o método SPAA, nenhum intervalo foi implementado entre o primeiro e segundo exercício (RD e TP ou TP e RD); noventa segundos de intervalo de descanso foram implementados após conclusão do primeiro e do exercício subsequente.RESULTADOS: Não foram observadas diferenças no volume total e percepção subjetiva do esforço (PSE) entre os protocolos experimentais, enquanto foi verificado maior nRM no exercício TP em comparação com o RD em todos os protocolos utilizados.CONCLUSÃO: Na intensidade de 70% de 1-RM, o volume total não é influenciado pelo método de TR (TRAD ou SPAA) e pela ordem dos exercícios (RD e TP ou TP e RD). Adicionalmente, observou-se que o nRM parece ser influenciado pelo grupamento muscular utilizado.ABSTRACT. Total volume and maximum number of repetitions performed during resistance training sets: traditional versus agonist-antagonist set methods.OBJECTIVE: To compare the total volume and number of maximum repetitions (nMR) that can be performed in barbell curl (BC) and triceps pushdown (TP) exercises, varying order of execution, on traditional (TRAD) and agonist-antagonist paired set (AAPS) methods.METHODS: Twelve individuals (22±3.5 years) with experience in resistance training (RT), attended 10 sessions with an interval of 48 to 72 hours between them. After anthropometric evaluation, three familiarization sessions, one repetition maximum tests (1-RM) and reproducibility, four experimental protocols were performed to measure the total volume and nMR, using 70% of 1-RM: TRAD1 (four sets of exercise BC + four sets of exercise TP); TRAD2 (four sets of TP exercise + four sets of BC exercise); AAPS1 (four sets of exercise BC and TP) and; AAPS2 (four sets of exercise TP and BC). Under the TRAD method, 90-seconds rest intervals were implemented between all sets; two-minute rest interval between the completion the last set of first exercise and the first set of second exercise was implemented (BC + TP or TP + BC). Under the AAPS method, no interval was implemented between first and second exercise (BC and TP or TP and BC); a 90-seconds rest interval after the completion of the first and the subsequent exercise was implemented. RESULTS: There were no differences in total volume and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) between the experimental protocols, while a higher nMR was found in the TP exercise compared to the BC in all protocols used.CONCLUSION: It is concluded that in the intensity of 70% 1-RM, the total volume is not influenced by the TR method (TRAD or AAPS) and by the order of the exercises (BC and TP or TP and BC). Additionally, it was observed that the nMR seems to be influenced by the muscle group used.

Abstract Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) has been used to increase performance in sports. The aim of this study was to compare the acute effects of IPC with different warm-up methods on the number of repetitions and total volume in resistance exercise (RE). Sixteen healthy men recreationally trained in RE participated in this study. After the anthropometric evaluation and familiarization, a one-repetition maximum (1RM) test and retest were performed in the bench press (BP) and in the leg press 45° (LP) exercise. After these tests, participants were randomly assigned to one of the five protocols: a) IPC; b) SHAM; c) a specific warm-up (SW); d) aerobic exercise (AE), and e) active stretching (AS) prior to performing 3 sets at 80% 1RM until concentric failure. The number of repetitions was higher following IPC compared to the SW following three sets both for the BP and LP. Similarly, the number of repetitions for IPC was higher in comparison to SHAM following three sets for the LP. The number of repetitions was higher following IPC compared to AE following 1st and 2nd sets for the LP and following the 2nd set for the BP. Finally, the number of repetitions was higher following IPC compared to AS following 1st and 2nd sets for the LP. The total volume was higher following IPC compared to SHAM, SW, AE, and AS for both the BP and LP. The IPC protocol increased the number of maximum repetitions and the total volume when compared to the other tested methods, thus indicating a better utilization during the pre-work warm-up. These results indicate positive associative responses to IPC with performance maintenance, which is of importance for both athletes and coaches.

Objective: The purpose of this investigation was to compare different rest period lengths between consecutive one maximum repetition bench press attempts on performance and ratings of perceived exertion. Method: Eighteen trained men (27.95 ± 4.25 years; 81.00 ± 9.21 kg; 174.62 ± 3.34 cm; bench press relative strength 1.33 ± 0.11 kg/kg of body mass) participated in three randomly ordered sessions that required two consecutive one maximum repetition bench press attempts with 20, 40, or 60-s rest between attempts. Results: The Cochran Q analysis showed no significant differences in the ability to successfully perform a second one maximum repetition attempt with 20, 40, or 60-s rest between attempts (p = 0.882). Specifically, no significant differences were found in the successful completion of the first and second attempts for the 20-s (p = 0.317), 40-s (p = 0.083), and 60-s (p = 0.157) trials, respectively. Briefly, for both 20 and 60-s rest conditions Δ% = 88.88% of subjects successfully performed the second attempt and, for the 40-s protocol, only Δ% = 83.33% completed. For the pre and post-set ratings of perceived exertion, the shorter rest period (20-s) promoted significantly higher values compared to the longer rest periods (pre-set ratings of perceived exertion, p = 0.04; post-set ratings of perceived exertion, p = 0.023). Conclusions: The results of this study can be applied to recreationally trained individuals with the intent of generating a time-efficient process for conducting a valid and reliable one maximum repetition bench press assessment.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of multi- to single-joint or the reverse exercise order on repetition performance and perceived exertion for the pectoralis major. Fourteen trained men (24.05 ± 4.17 yrs, 78.85 ± 3.51 kg, 175.42 ± 4.01 cm) underwent two different training sequences (SEQ1 and SEQ2). In SEQ1, all subjects performed 5 sets for maximal repetitions, with a 2-min rest interval, of the bench press followed by the machine chest fly with 10 repetitions maximum load. In SEQ2, the same procedures were repeated, but with the reverse order. The t-test did not show any differences (p = 0.140) in total workout repetitions between SEQ1 (62.22 ± 11.00 repetitions) and SEQ2 (55.40 ± 8.51 repetitions). Conversely, the total repetition number for the bench press exercise was significantly greater (p = 0.001) following SEQ1 (34.36 ± 4.68 repetitions) compared to SEQ2 (25.85 ± 6.73 repetitions). In contrast, the total repetition number for the machine chest fly exercise following SEQ2 was significantly greater (p = 0.001) (33.50 + 4.11 repetitions) compared to SEQ1 (27.85 ± 6.52 repetitions). Despite no significant differences found for the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) values between SEQ1 and SEQ2 for the barbell bench press in all sets (p ≥ 0.083), significantly higher RPE values for the machine chest fly were observed over the first three sets following SEQ1 compared to SEQ2 (p < 0.01). In conclusion, the total workout repetitions were not significantly different when performing the traditional multi- to single-joint or the reverse exercise order when training the pectoralis major muscle.

The aim of this research was to verify whether the application of percussion therapy during inter-set rest periods increases the number of repetitions performed before reaching a 30% velocity loss threshold during a bench press exercise. Methods: Twenty-four male university students participated in this study (24.3 ± 1.3 years; 77.5 ± 8.3 kg; 177.0 ± 5.6 cm; 24.7 ± 2.6 kg∙m−2). Participants were randomized into two groups: a percussion therapy group (PTG) and a control group (CG). They performed 4 sets at 70% of a one-repetition maximum before reaching a 30% velocity loss threshold with an inter-set recovery of 3 min. Results: The PTG performed a greater total number of repetitions compared to the CG (44.6 ± 4.8 vs. 39.5 ± 6.8; p = 0.047; ES = 0.867). No differences were observed for the different movement velocity variables and fatigue control (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Percussion therapy is an effective method to delay the loss of movement velocity in the bench press exercise.

AbstractThe main purpose of the present study was to investigate the acute effects of different training loads on ratings of perceived exertion and discomfort and feelings of pleasure/displeasure in resistance-trained men. Twelve resistance-trained men (26.7±3.5 years, 85.1±17.5 kg, and 174. 9±9.9 cm) performed 3 sets of the bench press, squat on a hack machine, and lat pulldown, until volitional concentric failure in two separate conditions: a moderate load (MOD) consisting of a relative load of 8–12 repetitions maximum (RM), and a light load (LIT) consisting of a relative load of 25–30RM. The session rating of perceived exertion (sRPE), session rating of perceived discomfort (sRPD), and session pleasure/displeasure feelings (sPDF) were assessed after 15 min after the ending of each session. A randomized, counterbalanced, crossover study was performed with 48 h recovery afforded between sessions. Differences between conditions were observed for sRPE and sRPD, in which scores for LIT were greater than MOD (sRPE: MOD=5.5±1.0 vs. LIT=6.4±0.7; sRPD: MOD=6.7±1.7 vs. LIT=8.7±1.0). For sPDF, MOD reported feelings of pleasure (1.2), whereas the LIT presented a feeling of displeasure (–2.3). Results suggest that resistance training performed with a light load until failure induces higher degrees of effort, discomfort and displeasure compared to a moderate load.

Purpose:To determine the effects of training sessions, involving high-resistance, low-repetition bench press exercise, on strength recovery patterns, as a function of gender and training background.Methods:The subjects were 12 athletes (6 males and 6 females) and age-matched college students of both genders (4 males and 4 females). The subjects completed a 3-wk resistance training program involving a bench press exercise, 3 d/wk, to become familiar with the testing procedure. After the completion of the resistance training program, the subjects, on three consecutive weeks, participated in two testing sessions per week, baseline session and recovery session. During the testing sessions, subjects performed fve sets of the bench press exercise at 50% to 100% of perceived fve repetition maximum (5-RM). Following the weekly baseline sessions, subjects rested during a 4-, 24-, or 48-h recovery period. Strength measurements were estimates of one repetition maximum (1-RM), using equivalent percentages for the number of repetitions completed by the subject at the perceived 5-RM effort of the bench press exercise.Results:The full-factorial ANOVA model revealed a Gender by Recovery Period by Testing Session interaction effect, F(2, 32) = 10.65; P < .05. Among male subjects, decreases in estimated 1-RM were detected at the 4- and 24-h recovery times. There were no differences in muscle strength among the female subjects, regardless of recovery time.Conclusions:For bench press exercises, using different recovery times of 48 h for males and 4 h for females may optimize strength development as a function of gender.
