View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
This randomized parallel-group clinical trial will compare the acute effects of three different inter-set rest intervals during a single lower-limb flywheel resistance exercise session in untrained men. Participants will be randomly allocated to one of three groups: 1-minute, 2-minute, or 3-minute inter-set rest interval. The primary outcome will be the change in maximal voluntary isometric contraction of the knee extensors 48 hours after exercise. Secondary outcomes will include mechanical variables during the exercise session, countermovement jump performance, knee flexor maximal voluntary isometric contraction, muscle soreness, pressure pain threshold, range of motion, ultrasound-derived muscle thickness and echo intensity, perceived exertion, perceived discomfort, perceived recovery status, creatine kinase, and lactate dehydrogenase.
