- Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of one- and three-minute rest interval between each set on: 1) the number of repetitions in each set of each exercise in session with 80% of 1RM, 2) total volume of repetitions in each exercise in session with 80% of 1RM, and 3) the total volume of repetitions during the whole session with 80% of 1RM. 20 young untrained men (18.6 ± 0.4 yrs, 68.3 ±7.9 kg, 174.4 ± 4.8 cm, 22.4 ± 2.1 kg-m-2) participated in this study. After two familiarization sessions, one repetition maximum (1RM) tests and retests were performed on nonconsecutive days for each exercise of the sequence: barbell bench press (SH), machine lat pull down (PA), seated machine shoulder press (DS), machine triceps extension (RT), and free weight standing biceps curl with a straight bar (RB). At the fifth visit the subjects were counterbalanced to a 1- (SEQ1) or 3- minute (SEQ3) rest interval session where the number of repetitions was recorded at the end of each set, and on the sixth visit (one week later) the procedures were exactly the same but with the other rest interval length. These results show that with one minute intervals between sessions a smaller volume of repetitions occurred when compared to a much greater range.
