The Claim

Superset resistance training reduces session duration by approximately 37% while maintaining similar total repetitions and volume load compared to traditional resistance training, resulting in significantly higher training efficiency (SMD=1.74, p=0.01) in trained individuals.

What the research says

Supports is higher

Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.

In plain English

A faster workout method called superset training cuts exercise time by over a third without reducing reps or weight, making workouts much more efficient for people who already exercise regularly.

What the research says

1 study
  1. Study: Superset Versus Traditional Resistance Training Prescriptions: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Exploring Acute and Chronic Effects on Mechanical, Metabolic, and Perceptual Variables

    The study looked at superset training and found it saves time while doing the same amount of exercise, making workouts more efficient, just like the claim says.
