“…The reason for using inter-set foam rolling lies in the fact that some individuals in the gym often stretch the agonist muscle between sets. Although inter-set stretching is scientifically investigated for its theoretical advantage in terms of muscular hypertrophy as a chronic adaptation [ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ], the acute effects are not well-investigated and appear to be detrimental for resistance training performance in the set subsequent to the stretching procedure [ 35 , 36 ]. On the other hand, the literature reports that pre-exercise foam rolling enhances the range of motion without compromising muscle strength [ 9 , 10 ], but it seems to negatively affect the subsequent performance when it is performed between sets in lower limbs exercise [ 19 , 20 ].…”

Foam rolling is widely used in fitness, sports, rehabilitation, and injury prevention. However, there are limited data available on the effect of foam rolling techniques on the upper limbs. The aim of this investigation is to assess the effects of foam rolling the latissimus dorsi area during the rest period between two consecutive lat pull-down exercise (LPDE) sets. Seventeen resistance training experienced volunteer male subjects (25.8 ± 3.4 years; 180.3 ± 9.0 cm; 79.7 ± 9.9 kg) participated in this research. Each subject performed 2 training sessions of LPDE in a random order, separated by one week. Each session consisted of 2 sets of maximum repetitions using 85% of their one-repetition maximum (1RM), with a 7 min rest period between sets. The rest period condition between sets was different in the 2 sessions: passive rest (Pr) or foam rolling the latissimus dorsi muscle bilaterally for 3 sets of 45 s (FRr). The following variables were assessed for each LPDE set: number of repetitions (REPS), average excursion per repetition in millimeters (EXC), average power of the set in watts (AP) and rating of perceived exertion (RPE). Pr did not show any significant change between the first and the second LPDE set for REPS, EXC, and AP. However, there was a significant increase for RPE (8.4 ± 0.5 vs. 8.9 ± 0.5 a.u., p = 0.003) between the two sets. FRr resulted in an increase for REPS (7.1 ± 1.5 vs. 8.2 ± 1.3, p < 0.001) and AP (304.6 ± 61.5 W vs. 318.8 ± 60.8 W, p = 0.034) between the first and the second LPDE sets, but no changes were observed for EXC and RPE. The use of foam rolling techniques on the latissimus dorsi area during the complete rest period between sets in LPDE at 85% 1RM appears to improve the number of repetitions and the movement power without affecting the RPE during the second set.

“…The present study was a retrospective analysis that aimed to associate changes in training volume (expressed as the number of weekly sets performed) and the percentage changes in muscle thickness (MT) of the biceps (MT BB ) and triceps (MT TB ) brachii muscles from previous publications. Resistance-trained subjects that participated in previous published studies (n = 19 in De Camargo et al [17], n = 27 in Brigatto et al [13], and n = 22 in Businari et al [18]) (all 8-week duration protocols) had their previous training volumes (number of weekly sets/muscle) analyzed and compared to the volume imposed by each individual study. Individual percentage changes on training volume were calculated as follows:…”

This study assessed associations between changes in the weekly number of sets performed and the percentage change in muscle thickness of the biceps (MTBB) and triceps (MTTB) brachii muscles. Through a retrospective analysis, sixty-eight resistance-trained subjects that participated in previous studies had their previous training volumes analyzed and compared to the volume imposed during each individual study. The relationship between variables was determined through Spearman correlation and a k-cluster analysis was performed to subdivide the participants into three groups and classified as:<0%; 0–50%, and >50% increase in the number of sets for both muscle groups. Moderate and weak correlations were observed between the alterations in training volume and changes in MTBB (rs=0.44, p=0.001) and MTTB (rs=0.35, p=0.002), respectively. A significant difference was noted between<0% to >50% for MTBB and MTTB (p=0.017; p=0.042, respectively), while no significant difference was observed between<0% to 0–50% and 0–50% to >50% (both p >0.05) for both muscle groups. In conclusion, muscle hypertrophy of the upper limbs is only weakly to moderately associated with changes in training volume of trained subjects.
