Registered date:01/08/2023

Basic Information

• Recruitment status: Recruiting
• Health condition(s) or Problem(s) studied: Healthy adult
• Date of first enrollment: 01/08/2023
• Target sample size: 20
• Study type: Interventional

Intervention(s)

<Day1>Practice of bench press

<Day2>Measurement of one repetition maximum of bench press

<Day3-6>Three sets of bench presses at 65-70% of one repetition maximum are performed under one of the following conditions.

Condition 1: Bench press is terminated when the lifting velocity for each set has decreased by 30% or more.

Condition 2: Bench press is terminated when the lifting velocity for each set has decreased by 40% or more.

Condition 3: Bench press is terminated when the lifting velocity for each set has decreased by 50% or more.

Condition 4: Bench press is terminated when the lifting velocity for each set has decreased by 60% or more.
