The Obtuse Nature of Muscular Strength: The Contribution of Rest to its Development and Expression
@article{Weiss1991TheON, title={The Obtuse Nature of Muscular Strength: The Contribution of Rest to its Development and Expression}, author={Lawrence W. Weiss}, journal={Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research}, year={1991}, volume={5}, pages={219–227} }
Various resistance activities are used today to increase the force-generating capacity of specific skeletal muscles. Many interdependent factors influence the magnitude of improvement, but great muscular tension during training appears necessary to elicit the desired changes in muscle function. If adequate tension is to be manifested in specific muscles, they must not be excessively fatigued. Consequently, sufficient rest should be provided during and between strength-training sessions in order…

A brief review: factors affecting the length of the rest interval between resistance exercise sets.
- BiologyJournal of strength and conditioning research

The length of the rest interval between sets is only 1 component of a resistance exercise program directed toward different training goals, and does not ensure a desired outcome if other components such as intensity and volume are not prescribed appropriately.
STRENGTH/POWER AUGMENTATION SUBSEQUENT TO SHORT‐TERM TRAINING ABSTINENCE

Results from this study indicate that respiratory muscle fatigue is a limiting factor for underwater swimming performance, and that targeted respiratory muscle training (RRMT > ERMT) improves respiratory muscle and underwater swim performance.
LOWER LIMBS POWER TRAINING: IDEAL NUMBER OF REPETITIONS IN RELATION TO LOAD INTENSITY AND DENSITY

The main goal of the present study was to identify the ideal number of repetitions for two different intensities for lower limbs power training. Moreover, it was investigated if the rest interval…
A Brief Review: How Much Rest between Sets?

A REST INTERVAL is essential to re-ESTABLISH INTRA MUSCULAR BLOOD FLOW and OXYGEN DELIVERY that allows for the REPLENISHment of PHOSPHOCREATINE STORES, RESTORATION of InTRAMUSCULAR PH, REMOVAL of METABOLIC END PRODUCTS, and RETURN of MUSCLE MEMBRANE POTENTIAL to RESTing LEVELS.

Resistance training frequency: strength and myosin heavy chain responses to two and three bouts per week
- PsychologyEuropean Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology

Isometric and isokinetic strength responses to variations in training frequency differed from 1RM strength responses, and changes in strength were not strongly related to alterations in relative MHC content.
An Adequate Interset Rest Period for Strength Recovery During a Common Isokinetic Test

It is suggested that a 1:3 work:rest ratio is sufficient during a common isokinetic strength test, as an effective method of standardizing rest periods in isokinetics testing.
Effect of Rest Interval Duration on the Volume Completed During a High-Intensity Bench Press Exercise
