Repeated bout effect is absent in resistance trained men: an electromyographic analysis
MJ Falvo, BK Schilling, RJ Bloomer… - … of Electromyography and …, 2009 - Elsevier
A prior bout of exercise is well known to confer protection from subsequent eccentric bouts
(ie repeated bout effect; RBE), which may be fostered through neural adaptations,
specifically a shift in the frequency content of the surface electromyogram (EMG). It is
currently not clear whether chronically resistance trained men are capable of a RBE driven
by neural adaptations. Eleven resistance trained men (23.5±3.4 yrs) performed 100
eccentric actions of the barbell bench press exercise, followed by an equivalent bout 14 …
