Does cluster set Permit Greater Mechanical Stress Without Decreasing Relative Velocity?
These data show that the intra-set rest provided in CS4 and CS2 allowed for greater external loads compared to TS, increasing TW and TUT, while resulting in similar PP and %VL. Therefore, cluster set structures may function as an alternative method to traditional strength- or hypertrophy-oriented training by increasing training load without increasing %VL or decreasing PP.
The results indicate that (1) the protective effect of remote ischemic perconditioning is lost in vehicle-treated rats and that chronic treatment with Olmesartan restores the protective effect of remote ischemic perconditioning; (2) chronic treatment with Olmesartan down-regulates HIF-1α, miR-21 and miR-210 expression and reduces hypertrophy, thereby limiting ischemia/reperfusion injury; and (3) recovery of the protective effect of remote ischemic perconditioning is related to the up-regulation of HIF-1α, miR-21 and miR-210 expression.
