The Science behind Intensity and Volume in Exercise

A team of researchers created an exercise protocol to target the release of testosterone and drive up anabolic environments to study the endocrine consequences. The duration of rest periods influences the metabolic stimulus and allows for the removal of waste products.

The team behind the 10 by 10 protocol aimed to target high-intensity mechanical strain and metabolic strain for the release of testosterone to study the endocrine consequences.

Summary
The team behind the 10 by 10 protocol aimed to target high-intensity mechanical strain and metabolic strain for the release of testosterone to study the endocrine consequences. Increasing the volume and duration of rest periods can influence the metabolic stimulus and consequently reduce the anabolic environment.

Athlete A is likely to see greater muscle gains due to the metabolic stimulus from shorter rest periods compared to Athlete B who takes longer rests.

Summary
Athlete A is likely to see greater muscle gains due to the metabolic stimulus from shorter rest periods compared to Athlete B who takes longer rests. The focus should be on keeping the rest periods restricted to about two minutes to maximize the benefits of muscle tissue growth.
