The Effect of Self-Paced and Prescribed Inter-Set Rest Strategies on Performance in Strength Training.

CONCLUSIONS:: Self-selecting inter-set rest periods does not significantly change performance compared to 3MIN and 5 MIN conditions.. Given the opportunity, athletes will vary their inter-set rest periods to complete multiple sets of heavy strength training. Self-selection of inter-set rest periods may be a feasible alternative to prescribed inter-set rest periods. PMID: 30676141 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
