Single versus three sets resistance training on strength, power and hormonal responses among untrained men / Ali Md Nadzalan

The optimal number of sets in resistance training for specific exercises has been of the most debated issue among the practitioners and researchers. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of single versus three sets on muscular strength, muscular power and the selected physiological re...

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of single versus three sets on muscular strength, muscular power and the selected physiological responses among untrained men. 36 untrained men were recruited in this study. Participants were randomized into 3 groups; single set (n = 12), three set (n = 12) and control group (n = 12). Muscular strength was measured by bench press and squat performance. Static strength was measured by handgrip strength test and muscular power by the vertical jump test.
