Research has indicated that multiple sets are superior to single sets for maximal strength
development. However, whether maximal strength gains are achieved may depend on the …

Resistance training (RT) is now an integral component of a well rounded exercise
programme. For a correct training prescription, it is of the utmost importance to understand …

The strength training strategy of linear periodization has long been recognized as an
efficient system of resistance training. But--until now--no one had researched and explored …

An individual's training status is a key factor used to determine the volume, the intensity, and
the selection of exercises for resistance training prescription. Interestingly, there are no …

The objectives of this paper were to:(a) systematically review studies that explored the
effects of exercise order (EO) on muscular strength and/or hypertrophy;(b) pool their results …

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of session rating of perceived exertion (RPE) to
measure effort during different types of resistance training. Method: Fifteen male subjects …

With the purpose of manipulating training stimuli, several techniques have been employed
to resistance training. Two of the most popular techniques are the pre-exhaustion (PRE) and …

The order of resistance exercises within a training session may have a vital impact on the
quality of the constituent exercises performed. However, very few studies have documented …
