Further research is needed to provide a clear differentiation between short and long inter-set rest intervals.
Researchers should conduct more studies to clarify the effects of different rest intervals.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
However, due to the paucity of studies with similar designs, further research is needed to provide a clear differentiation between these two approaches.
Why this rating
Based on systematic review of multiple studies.
