Neural
Traditional-set structure (TRAD) resulted in significantly greater velocity loss magnitude (g = 1.50) compared to cluster-set structure (CLUS).
Practitioners may consider using traditional-set structures to enhance performance metrics like velocity loss.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
TRAD demonstrated a significantly greater velocity loss magnitude (g = 1.50) and muscle thickness of the proximal pectoralis major (g = -0.34) compared with CLUS.
