Figure 6. A theoretical example of the effect of different training sessions (different number of sets to failure) on recovery time (based on Figure 3). Resources could for example refer to the metabolic (e.g., glycogen stores), morphological (mechanical) (e.g., myofibril protein growth), neurological (peripheral or central fatigue and improvements), and/or hormonal systems. Asterisk indicates training of another muscle group.
