Metabolic adaptation
Total load lifted was significantly lower for the 30 seconds rest interval compared with 60 seconds and 120 seconds.
Shorter rest intervals (30 seconds) may hinder total load lifted during resistance training.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The total load lifted was significantly (P < 0.001) lower for 30 seconds (26382.0 ± 4100.3 kg) rest interval compared with 60 seconds (28864.5 ± 4139.7 kg) and 120 seconds (30064.4 ± 3966.4 kg).
