Training Load Indices, Perceived Tolerance, and Enjoyment Among Different Models of Resistance Training in Older Adults.

Conlon, JA, Haff, GG, Tufano, JJ, and Newton, RU. Training load indices, perceived tolerance, and enjoyment among different models of resistance training in older adults. J Strength Cond Res 32(3): 867-875, 2018-The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between volume load (VL), training monotony, and strain, and perceived tolerance and enjoyment, across periodized and nonperiodized (NP) resistance training (RT) in older adults.

Effects of Cluster Sets and Rest-Redistribution on Mechanical Responses to Back Squats in Trained Men.

Eight resistance-trained men completed three protocols separated by 48-96 hours. Each protocol included 36 repetitions with the same rest duration, but the frequency and length of rest periods differed. The cluster sets of four (CS4) protocol included 30 s of rest after the 4th, 8th, 16th, 20th, 28th, and 32nd repetition in addition to 120 s of rest after the 12th and 24th repetition.

The efficacy of periodised resistance training on neuromuscular adaptation in older adults.

Purpose: This study compared the effect of periodised versus non-periodised (NP) resistance training on neuromuscular adaptions in older adults.

Methods: Forty-one apparently healthy untrained older adults (female = 21, male = 20; 70.9 ± 5.

Different Cluster Sets Result in Similar Metabolic, Endocrine, and Perceptual Responses in Trained Men.

Tufano, JJ, Conlon, JA, Nimphius, S, Oliver, JM, Kreutzer, A, and Haff, GG. Different cluster sets result in similar metabolic, endocrine, and perceptual responses in trained men. J Strength Cond Res 33(2): 346-354, 2019-The purpose of this study was to compare the kinematic, metabolic, endocrine, and perceptual responses of 3 back squat protocols with equal loads, number of repetitions, and total rest duration.

Cluster Sets: Permitting Greater Mechanical Stress Without Decreasing Relative Velocity.

Purpose: To determine the effects of intraset rest frequency and training load on muscle time under tension, external work, and external mechanical power output during back-squat protocols with similar changes in velocity.

Methods: Twelve strength-trained men (26.0 ± 4.

Periodization Strategies in Older Adults: Impact on Physical Function and Health.

Purpose: This study compared the effect of periodized versus nonperiodized (NP) resistance training (RT) on physical function and health outcomes in older adults.

Methods: Forty-one apparently healthy untrained older adults (women = 21, men = 20; 70.9 ± 5.

Maintenance of Velocity and Power With Cluster Sets During High-Volume Back Squats.

Purpose: To compare the effects of a traditional set structure and 2 cluster set structures on force, velocity, and power during back squats in strength-trained men.

Methods: Twelve men (25.8 ± 5.

Application of Session Rating of Perceived Exertion Among Different Models of Resistance Training in Older Adults.

The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between external measures of resistance training (RT) workload and intensity, volume load (VL) and training intensity (TI), and related internal measures, session load and session rating of perceived exertion (sRPE), across a chronic RT intervention and between different models of RT in older adults. Forty-one healthy, untrained older adults (female, 21; male, 20; age, 70.9 ± 5.
