Abstract

The rest redistribution (RR) method is a contemporary approach in resistance training that redistributes the same total duration as the traditional set (TS) method but with shorter and more frequent rest intervals. This study aimed to compare the acute effects of the TS and RR methods on muscle activation, perceived fatigue, and jump performance. Twenty-two sports science students (age: 23.50 ± 3.05 years) with resistance training experience participated in this randomized crossover design study. Participants performed barbell squat exercises at 70% of their one-repetition maximum using three different resistance training protocols: TS (5 sets of 8 repetitions; 3 minutes of rest between sets), RR1 (40 sets of 1 repetition; 18.5 seconds of rest between sets), and RR2 (10 sets of 4 repetitions; 1 minute and 20 seconds of rest between sets). Findings indicated that, in terms of set main effects, significant differences were observed in average and peak muscle activation, countermovement jump (CMJ) height, and perceived exertion, while no significant differences were found in group interactions (p > 0.05). However, for the protocol x set interaction, a significant difference was observed only in perceived exertion (p < 0.05). These results suggest that traditional and rest redistribution set structures produce similar performance outcomes under equal training volumes, while lower perceived fatigue is experienced with the traditional set protocol during ongoing sets. In contrast, general training evaluations revealed lower perceived fatigue with the RR2 protocol.

Özet

Rest Redistribution (RR) yöntemi, geleneksel set (TS) yöntemiyle aynı toplam süreyi yeniden dağıtan, ancak daha kısa ve daha sık dinlenme aralıkları içeren, direnç antrenmanında çağdaş bir yaklaşımdır. Bu çalışma, TS ve RR yöntemlerinin kas aktivasyonu, algılanan yorgunluk ve sıçrama performansı üzerindeki akut etkilerini karşılaştırmayı amaçlamıştır. Direnç antrenmanı deneyimi olan 22 spor bilimi öğrencisi (yaş: 23,50 ± 3,05) bu randomize çapraz tasarımlı çalışmaya katılmıştır. Katılımcılar, üç farklı direnç antrenmanı protokolü kullanarak, tek tekrar maksimumlarının %70'inde barbell squat egzersizleri yaptılar: TS (5 set 8 tekrar; setler arasında 3 dakika dinlenme), RR1 (40 set 1 tekrar; setler arasında 18,5 saniye dinlenme) ve RR2 (10 set 4 tekrar; setler arasında 1 dakika 20 saniye dinlenme). Bulgular, set ana etkileri açısından, ortalama ve en yüksek kas aktivasyonu, karşı hareket sıçraması (CMJ) yüksekliği ve algılanan eforda önemli farklılıklar gözlemlendiğini, ancak grup etkileşimlerinde önemli bir fark bulunmadığını gösterdi (p > 0,05). Ancak, protokol x set etkileşimi için, yalnızca algılanan eforda önemli bir fark gözlemlenmiştir (p < 0,05). Bu sonuçlar, geleneksel ve dinlenme yeniden dağıtım set yapılarının eşit antrenman hacimleri altında benzer performans sonuçları ürettiğini, ancak devam eden setler sırasında geleneksel set protokolü ile daha düşük algılanan yorgunluk yaşandığını göstermektedir. Buna karşın, genel antrenman değerlendirmeleri RR2 protokolü ile daha düşük algılanan yorgunluk ortaya koymuştur.
