Table 2.

Percent fatigue in the mechanical variables during the Traditional and cluster set configurations. Values are means ± standard deviations

Mechanical variable Traditional set Doubles cluster set Singles cluster set
F 2.3 ± 2.8 5.2 ± 4.5 4.4 ± 4.6
Impulse 15.6 ± 9.9 14.0 ± 6.2 12.1 ± 5.6
Work 3.6 ± 3.8 4.9 ± 4.6 4.5 ± 3.7
PO 10.4 ± 5.3* 16.7 ± 6.0* 11.6 ± 6.9
TUT 16.4 ± 9.8 15.8 ± 7.7 11.8 ± 5.9

Doubles cluster set = repetitions 1 and 2, 3 and 4 performed continuously with a 30 s rest between repetitions 2 and 3; Singles cluster set = four repetitions performed with a 30 s rest between each consecutive repetition; F = average concentric force; PO = average concentric power output; TUT = concentric time under tension.
