Metabolic adaptation
Rest interval durations of 60 seconds and 120 seconds between sets favored a higher total load lifted in the exercise session compared to the 30 seconds rest interval.
Practitioners should consider longer rest intervals (60-120 seconds) to maximize load lifted during resistance training.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
In conclusion, rest interval durations of 60 seconds and 120 seconds between sets favored a higher total load lifted in the exercise session when compared to the 30 seconds rest interval.
