Acute bench press performance responses to two inter-set rest periods in recreationally trained men and women

Key Points

• The central aim is to compare how acute bench press performance differs by sex during multiple sets of exercise.
• Analyzed bench press performance in recreationally trained men and women.
• Investigated the impact of two different inter-set rest periods.
• Used a hypertrophy workout session format.
• Female trainees show better performance maintenance over multiple sets compared to males.
• Differences in performance metrics were noted based on gender.
