Metabolic adaptation
Time-efficient resistance training strategies such as supersets, drop sets, and rest-pause sets can preserve training volume and elicit similar muscular adaptations in less time than traditional training.
Practitioners can implement these time-efficient strategies to help clients maintain strength and hypertrophy despite time constraints.
