The Claim

In recreationally trained young men, neuromuscular performance, as measured by countermovement jump height and peak power, recovers to baseline levels within 10 minutes following non-failure resistance training but remains impaired for at least 30 minutes following resistance training to failure.

What the research says

Supports is higher

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

These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.

Description
1 study reviewed
In plain English

After a regular workout that doesn’t push you to exhaustion, your jumping power bounces back in just 10 minutes—but if you push yourself until you can’t do another rep, it takes at least half an hour to recover.

See the scientific wording

Neuromuscular performance, as measured by countermovement jump height and peak power, recovers to baseline within 10 minutes after non-failure resistance training but remains impaired for at least 30 minutes after training to failure in recreationally trained young men.

What the research says

1 study
  1. Study: Acute effects of equated volume-load resistance training leading to muscular failure versus non-failure on neuromuscular performance

    The study found that if you lift weights without going all the way to exhaustion, your jumping power comes back in 10 minutes — but if you push to total failure, it stays weak for at least 30 minutes.
