By pushing through and repeating another set safely, you're training the neurons to access more energy, convert that into ATP, and access more energy in the muscles. This type of high-intensity interval training is useful for building a capacity to engage in short bouts of effort repeatedly.

High-Intensity Interval Training
Summary

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) can train neurons to access more energy and convert it into ATP for the muscles, thereby building the capacity to engage in short bouts of intense effort repeatedly. HIIT can be beneficial for competitive and team sports that require short bursts of energy and maximum effort.

high-intensity interval training
Summary

Intense bouts of aerobic and anaerobic conditioning, such as in high-intensity interval training, can lead to eccentric loading of the heart's muscular wall which can make the heart stronger and improve oxygenation and energy utilization in the body. This training can have benefits for non-athletes as well.
