Hey guys,
Long time no type. I am conducting a study as we speak on the effects of volume on acute fatigue. Some researchers state the which ever program elicits the most acute fatigue will produce the best results. My supervisor conducted a 12 week study with 1, 4 and 8 sets to failure. He found that the 8 set group had a much larger increase in back squat strength (proably due to increase fatigue, we dont know how much it differed).
We do not know the acute effects of doing 8 sets as no one has studies it. I will be measuring fatigue by force loss as well as nerve stimulation.
Nerve stimulation will allow me to assess how well you are able to activate all your motor units. Many of you cannot activate the complete muscle voluntarily. Ive tested people who can only do 80%, I can do 95-98% most days. This is an adaptation of strength training. I will also be able to tell how much fatigue is in the muscle, which would mean that the muscle is fatigued, and cause adaptations to the muscle tissue.
It's interesting and I can talk about it more if you want.
You must:
- be resistance trained
--- this means in scientific circles (1.3 x bw back squat, and 1x BW bench, For the ladies its the same squat, but a 0.8x bw bench)
- I will only require you two testing sessions, one is the familarisation and the other is the testing (8 sets of front squats at 80% 1rm)
- its at the UWS Campbelltown campus.
I will be able to tell you how well you can activate your nervous system and possibily how much volume you require to sufficiently fatigue. I hope to allow to be able to tell you if you are a "responder" to volume. All this information can be used to improve your training of your squat.
If you're interested PM me or write on this page, I can send you more info.
Any questions, fire away. Im trying to make scientific research a bit cooler.
