Effect of cluster set resistance training combined with high-intensity interval training on cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness in untrained young men.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aims to investigate the impact of cluster set resistance training combined with high-intensity interval training (CSRT-HIIT) on the body composition, cardiovascular and muscular fitness of untrained young men.

Methods

Twenty-two participants were randomly assigned to the CSRT-HIIT or traditional resistance training combined with high-intensity interval training (TRT-HIIT). Both groups had cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness measured before and after the intervention.

Results

Compared to the baseline, significant increases were observed in the 1RM weights for squat, bench press, deadlift, and rowing, as well as the maximum training volume at 70% 1RM, maximum oxygen uptake, standing long jump, and the thickness of the pectoralis major, biceps bra
