Abstract:
The purposes of this study were to compare the repetition performance and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) in different exercises order of three resistance training (RT) exercises: bench press (BP), shoulder press (SP), and triceps extension (TE). Twelve trained men participated in this study (26.75 ± 2.49 years; 177 ± 4.66 cm; 77.7 ± 6.20 kg; 12.61 ± 2.01% body fat; RT experience 3.58 ± 1.24 years). Data were collected in two phases: (1) 10 RM test for BP, SP, and TE and (2) performance of six RT sequences. The sequences were: SEQA (BP, SP, TE), SEQB (BP, TE, SP), SEQC (SP, BP, TE), SEQD (SP, TE, BP), SEQE (TE, BP, SP), and SEQF (TE, SP, BP). The repetition performance on SEQD was significantly smaller than SEQE and SEQF. No significant differences were found for repetition performance and RPE among other sequences. These data indicate that priority might be given to exercises performed in the beginning of the RT session.

Exercise and Muscle Performance
Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...
Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
