“…Specifically, if sufficient time is given between sessions involving the same muscle groups, adequate recovery may be achieved, minimising any potential negative consequences. Application of failure training may be more feasible in isolation movements involving less musculature (i.e., leg extension vs. leg press) ( Dourado et al, 2023 ), machine-based exercises as opposed to high-skill, demanding barbell movements ( Haff, 2000 ; Saeterbakken and Fimland, 2013 ), or that emphasise shorter muscle lengths ( Nosaka and Newton, 2002 ), as each may have lower recovery demands. Additionally, one could perform only the last set of an exercise for a given muscle group at the end of the session to failure so as not to have fatigue bleed into subsequent exercises of that session.…”

“…Specifically, when comparing lower versus upper body exercises, greater recovery times are needed for the lower body (48–72 hours) compared to 24 h or less for the upper body ( Bartolomei et al, 2017 ; Belcher et al, 2019 ; Lewis et al, 2022 ; Raeder et al, 2016 ). However, even within the lower body, differences between exercises can be observed as greater impairment of functional performance and delayed recovery of muscle edema was reported in the leg press compared to knee extensions ( Dourado et al, 2023 ). This suggests that multi-joint movements may require additional recovery times perhaps due to the greater amount of musculature involved, the subsequently higher absolute loads used, and greater coordination demands ( Haff, 2000 ; Saeterbakken and Fimland, 2013 ).…”

Systemic resistance training aims to enhance performance by balancing stress, fatigue and recovery. While fatigue is expected, insufficient recovery may temporarily impair performance. The aim of this review was to examine evidence regarding manipulation of resistance training variables on subsequent effects on recovery and performance. PubMed, Medline, SPORTDiscus, Scopus and CINAHL were searched. Only studies that investigated recovery between resistance training sessions were selected, with a total of 24 articles included for review. Training to failure may lengthen recovery times, potentially impairing performance; however, it may be suitable if implemented strategically ensuring adequate recovery between sessions of similar exercises or muscle groups. Higher volumes may increase recovery demands, especially when paired with training to failure, however, with wide variation in individual responses, it is suggested to start with lower volume, monitor recovery, and gradually increase training volume if appropriate. Exercises emphasising the lower body, multi-joint movements, greater muscle recruitment, eccentric contractions, and/or the lengthened position may require longer recovery times. Adjusting volume and frequency of these exercises can affect recovery demands depending on the goals and training logistics. Daily undulating programming may maximise performance on priority sessions while maintaining purposeful and productive easy days. For example, active recovery in the form of training opposing muscle groups, light aerobic cardio, or low-volume power-type training may improve recovery and potentially elicit a post activation potentiation priming effect compared to passive recovery. However, it is possible that training cessation may be adequate for allowing sufficient recovery prior to sessions of importance.

Impairments in myofibrillar protein synthesis (MyoPS) during bed rest accelerate skeletal muscle loss in older adults, increasing the risk of adverse secondary health outcomes. We investigated the effect of prior resistance exercise (RE) on MyoPS and muscle morphology during a disuse event in 10 healthy older men (65–80 years). Participants completed a single bout of unilateral leg RE the evening prior to 5 days of in‐patient bed‐rest. Quadriceps cross‐sectional area (CSA) was determined prior to and following bed‐rest. Serial muscle biopsies and dual stable isotope tracers were used to determine rates of integrated MyoPS (iMyoPS) over a 7 day habitual ‘free‐living’ phase and the bed‐rest phase, and rates of acute postabsorptive and postprandial MyoPS (aMyoPS) at the end of bed rest. Quadriceps CSA at 40%, 60% and 80% of muscle length significantly decreased in exercised (EX) and non‐exercised control (CTL) legs with bed‐rest. The decline in quadriceps CSA at 40% and 60% of muscle length was attenuated in EX compared with CTL. During bed‐rest, iMyoPS rates decreased from habitual values in CTL, but not EX, and were significantly different between legs. Postprandial aMyoPS rates increased above postabsorptive values in EX only. The change in iMyoPS over bed‐rest correlated with the change in quadriceps CSA in CTL, but not EX. A single bout of RE attenuated the decline in iMyoPS rates and quadriceps atrophy with 5 days of bed‐rest in older men. Further work is required to understand the functional and clinical implications of prior RE in older patient populations. imageKey points Age‐related skeletal muscle deterioration, linked to numerous adverse health outcomes, is driven by impairments in muscle protein synthesis that are accelerated during periods of disuse. Resistance exercise can stimulate muscle protein synthesis over several days of recovery and therefore could counteract impairments in this process that occur in the early phase of disuse. In the present study, we demonstrate that the decline in myofibrillar protein synthesis and muscle atrophy over 5 days of bed‐rest in older men was attenuated by a single bout of unilateral resistance exercise performed the evening prior to bed‐rest. These findings suggest that concise resistance exercise intervention holds the potential to support muscle mass retention in older individuals during short‐term disuse, with implications for delaying sarcopenia progression in ageing populations.
