Abstract :Drop set is a popular time-efficient resistance training method. This study aimed to compare the impact of drop-set insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DS); training versus traditional resistance training insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TRT); while ensuring equalized total training volume on the Wingate Anaerobic Test. Twenty-four sports science students were assigned to either DS insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=12); or TRT insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=12); protocols according to their 1 RM values, and they trained twice a week for 6 weeks.1 RM test was only conducted at the beginning of the study, while the Wingate anaerobic power test was administered at baseline and after the intervention period. The study demonstrated a significant main effect of time for peak power insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p< 0.001);, and a between-group interaction effect was observed for peak power insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p< 0.05);. The DS group exhibited slightly higher peak power values compared to TRT insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p< 0.05, 15% increase for DS, 13% for TRT, ES: 0,50 and 0,36 respectively);, while both groups displayed significantly increased values from pre to post-testing insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p < 0.001);. Based on our findings, it can be inferred that DS training leads to slightly greater enhancements in anaerobic power when compared to TRT. Additionally, the study confirmed that a 6-week insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(12 sessions in total); resistance training program utilizing a load of 70% of 1 RM was sufficient to enhance anaerobic performance in young active men.
