Article Synopsis
- This study compared the effects of a single set (SS) versus multiple sets (MS) of resistance exercise on the Akt/PKB signaling pathway, IGF-1, and IGF-1R expression in recreationally active men.
- Sixteen participants underwent three muscle biopsies at different time intervals—before, 15 minutes after, and 180 minutes after exercise—while performing either a single or multiple set leg press.
- Results showed no significant differences between the SS and MS groups in Akt signaling or IGF-1 expression; however, there was a notable increase in IGF-1R expression in the SS group, indicating that a single set may produce similar acute muscle responses to multiple sets.
