What is the recommended rest period length between exercises designed to promote muscular endurance adaptations?

Summary

• Resistance training increases muscle strength by making your muscles work against a weight or force.
• Different forms of resistance training include using free weights, weight machines, resistance bands and your own body weight.
• A beginner needs to train two or three times per week to gain the maximum benefit.
• Complete the adult pre-exercise screening tool and consult with professionals, such as your doctor, exercise physiologist, physiotherapist or AUSactive registered professional before you start a new fitness program.
• Rest each muscle group for at least 48 hours to maximise gains in strength and size.
• Varying your workouts can help you push past a training plateau.

Using a structured and proven design model; should be a methodical approach to improve physical, physiologic, psychological and performance adaptations:
-the best way to follow this is through a structured periodized training program
-a multicomponent program that includes, but is not limited to, flexibility, core, balance, plyometrics, speed/agility/quickness, resistance, and cardiorespiratory training can decrease injury and improve performance

The shorter the rest interval, the less ATP and PC will be replenished and consequently less energy will be available for the next set:
-With new clients, this can result in fatigue, which can lead to decreased neuromuscular control, force production, and stabilization by decreasing motor unit recruitment
-Therefore, inadequate rest intervals can decrease performance and could lead to altered movement patterns, and even injury.
-As the client advances, this can be used as a means to increase the intensity of the workout and promote better adaptations, especially for stability, endurance, and hypertrophy.

To improve general performance, clients must increase overall proprioception, strength, and rate of force production. The training will use the entire OPT model, although for the typical client, Phases 1, 2, and 5 will be the most important. The client will work in Phase 1 for 4 weeks to ensure proper muscle balance and endurance of the stabilization muscles. The remainder of the annual plan shows the client cycling through Phases 1, 2, and 5. After the first 4 months, undulating periodization is used, and stabilization (Phase 1), strength (Phase 2), and power (Phase 5) are used in the same month and week. Cardiorespiratory training can be performed each month as well
