METHODS: Eight resistance trained men (23.9±3.3y; 177.2±7.9cm; 82.7±11.0kg; 11.9±3.5% body fat) had body composition and one-repetition maximum (1RM) back squat assessed.

Data were collected using a bilateral force plate and motion capture system, and smoothed using a 4 th order Butterworth filter (12 Hz cutoff). Data were analyzed by a repeated measures ANOVA (p 0.05). RESULTS: A significant CONDITION x SET (p = 0.038) interaction was observed, with lower power outputs during TRD for SET 2 (p = 0.008), 3 (p = 0.019) and 4 (p = 0.002) compared to SET 1. Only SET 4 was significantly lower than SET 1 (p = 0.006) in CLU. A significant CONDITION x REP interaction (p < 0.001) was also observed. Compared to REP 1, significantly lower power outputs were observed for every subsequent repetition during TRD. In contrast, reduced power output was not observed until later in the set when performing CLU. The greater mean power was attributed to velocity, as no main effect or interactions were observed for mean force (p 0.05). A CONDITION x SET interaction approached significance (p = 0.069) for velocity, while the CONDITION x REP interaction effect was significant (p < 0.001), mirroring the pattern observed in mean power. CONCLUSION: These data demonstrate that the greater power observed during resistance exercise at lower intensities is also observed at higher intensities, and is attributed to higher velocities. Long-term training studies at higher intensities are warranted to determine the adaptations resulting from consistent CLU training.

Cluster sets (CLU), a training method in which a brief rest is

inserted between a group of repetitions, attenuates the loss in

power typically observed in traditional set (TRD) configurations

during resistance training. Training studies report greater gains

in strength and power when using CLU at lower intensities.

However, few data exist on the kinetics and kinematics of CLU

at higher intensities (>80%). PURPOSE: To compare the

kinetics and kinematics during TRD and CLU at a high intensity.METHODS: Eight resistance trained men (23.9±3.3y;

177.2±7.9cm; 82.7±11.0kg; 11.9±3.5% body fat) had body

composition and one-repetition maximum (1RM) back squat

assessed. After at least 48 hours, in a randomized crossover,

participants completed 4 sets 6 repetitions (TRD) with 180

seconds inter-set rest or 4 sets 2 clusters of 3 (4 x [2 x 3])

(CLU) with 30 seconds intra-set rest and150 seconds inter-set

rest, both configurations at 80% 1RM separated by 72 hours.

Data were collected using a bilateral force plate and motion

capture system, and smoothed using a 4th order Butterworth

filter (12 Hz cutoff). Data were analyzed by a repeated

measures ANOVA (p ≤ 0.05). RESULTS: A significant

CONDITION x SET (p = 0.038) interaction was observed, with

lower power outputs during TRD for SET 2 (p = 0.008), 3 (p =

0.019) and 4 (p = 0.002) compared to SET 1. Only SET 4 was

significantly lower than SET 1 (p = 0.006) in CLU. A significant

CONDITION x REP interaction (p < 0.001) was also observed.

Compared to REP 1, significantly lower power outputs were

observed for every subsequent repetition during TRD. In

contrast, reduced power output was not observed until later in

the set when performing CLU. The greater mean power was

attributed to velocity, as no main effect or interactions were

observed for mean force (p ≤ 0.05). A CONDITION x SET

interaction approached significance (p = 0.069) for velocity,

while the CONDITION x REP interaction effect was significant

(p < 0.001), mirroring the pattern observed in mean power.

CONCLUSION: These data demonstrate that the greater power

observed during resistance exercise at lower intensities is also

observed at higher intensities, and is attributed to higher

velocities. Long-term training studies at higher intensities are

warranted to determine the adaptations resulting from

consistent CLU training.

• A repeated measures, randomized, crossover design was

employed

• Eight resistance trained men (n = 8) performed CLU and

TRD configurations of the back squat at 80%1RM

• Extraneous lower body activity was not permitted for at least

72 hours prior to 1RM testing or experimental trials

• Data were collected using a bilateral force plate and motion

capture system, and smoothed using a 4th order Butterworth

filter (12 Hz cutoff).

• Repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA)

performed to determine differences between CS and TS

• Post hoc analyses were performed when a significant finding

was observed (p ≤ 0.05).

To compare the kinetics and kinematics during TRD and CLU at

a high intensity

• These data demonstrate that greater power output is observed

when utilizing CLU at higher intensities

• The greater power output was attributed to greater movement

velocity as no significant difference in force was observed.

• Long-term training studies implementing CLU at higher

intensities are warranted to characterize chronic adaptations
