Research
Mixed
Various strength training methodologies (plyometric, occlusion, variable resistance, conventional, eccentric, and concurrent) consistently increase indicators of muscle fatigue (blood lactate, heart rate, RPE, DOMS, and ammonia), and the magnitude of this fatigue depends on the specific training method, population characteristics, and sex.
Expect to feel fatigued during and after strength training. This is normal and varies by the type of exercise (e.g., plyometrics vs. occlusion) and your fitness level. Monitor indicators like heart rate and perceived exertion to manage your training load and recovery.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
At the end of the systematic review, it was shown that the different training methodologies for strength development generate increases in muscle fatigue indicators, and the increase generated in the different muscle fatigue indicators depends both on the methodology used and on the type of population, sex, level of training and type of sport.
Why this rating
Based on a systematic review of 39 studies using the PRISMA model and PEDro scale for quality assessment.
