| Summary: | This research attempted to examine the acute effects of exercises order during upperlowerbody alternated supersets among trained men. This study was conducted by usingquantitative time series experimental design. Twenty resistance-trained men performeddifferent exercises order of bench press and squat: (i) upper body to lower body (order A)and (ii) lower body to upper body (order B) in random arrangement for three sets with120 seconds rest inter-set. All participants performed both exercises at 75% of their onerepetition-maximum (1RM) value. Muscles activation, repetitions completed, heart rateand rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were recorded during both exercises order.Repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyse the different on allvariables. Results showed order A produced higher upper body muscles activation(pectoralis major: <.05, triceps brachii: <.05) and number of repetitions completed( <.05) in bench press for all three sets compared to order B. In contrast, order Bshowed higher lower body muscles activation (rectus femoris: <.05, biceps femoris: <.05) in squat compared to order A. Number of repetitions completed during squat werehigher during order B compared to order A in the first set, <.05. Heart rate was foundto be greater during order B in the second and third set, <.05. RPE was also found to begreater during order B in all three sets, <.05. In conclusion, the results of this studysuggested that the order of exercises performed in a resistance training session willdetermine the benefits gained. The findings of this study could be used as a guideline forindividuals involved in strength and conditioning to plan a better resistance trainingprogram for achieving their own specific goals. |
