The document summarizes a study that compared the effects of multiple set resistance training versus single set training to failure in untrained women over an 8-week period. The study found that while both groups improved muscle strength and power, the multiple set group performing 3 sets of various reps not to failure showed significantly greater gains, with a 34.7% increase in squat strength versus 24.2% for the single set group. Only the multiple set group significantly increased vertical jump power. The document discusses how factors like heavy and light training days, rep ranges, and greater overall workload may explain the multiple set group's superior gains.
