Neural

All training protocols significantly increased one repetition maximum (1RM) values post-training, with no significant differences between protocols.

Practitioners can expect similar strength gains across different rest intervals when volume is equalized.

All protocols significantly increased 1RM values in post-training (p < 0.0001; LI: 27.6%, effect size [ES] = 0.90; VLI-SI: 31.1%, ES = 1.00; SI: 26.5%, ES = 1.11; and VSI-LI: 31.2%, ES = 1.28), with no significant differences between protocols.
