The Claim
In young male wrestling athletes performing horizontal bench press, a 1-minute recovery interval results in a significantly higher fatigue index compared to a 3-minute recovery interval, indicating that shorter rest periods lead to greater physiological fatigue accumulation during resistance training sessions.
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.
When young male wrestlers do bench presses with only one minute of rest between sets, they experience more fatigue than when they rest for three minutes, suggesting that shorter breaks increase fatigue during resistance training.

In young male wrestling athletes performing horizontal bench press, fatigue index is significantly higher with a 1-minute recovery interval than with a 3-minute interval, indicating that shorter rest periods lead to greater physiological fatigue accumulation during resistance training sessions.
When you lift weights with very little rest, your muscles run out of energy and build up waste products like lactic acid. This makes it harder for the muscles to squeeze tightly and for your brain to tell them to keep working, so you get more tired faster.
What the research says
1 studyYoung wrestlers who rested only 1 minute between bench press sets got much more tired by the end than those who rested 3 minutes, and the study measured this tiredness using a standard score called the fatigue index.
