Combination of Training to Failure and Non-Failure: An Unexplored Approach of Number of Repetitions, Rate of Perceived Exertion, Time Under Tension, Volume-Load, and Muscle Swelling in Trained Individuals

SUMMARY Background. Previous studies suggest training to failure may not yield superior muscle responses compared to non-failure training, leaving the combined use unexplored. Objective. To compare the number of repetitions, volume-load, time under tension (TUT), rate of perceived exertion (RPE), and muscle swelling between two protocols: one involving four sets to failure (TFAS) and the … Continued
