AbstractThe aim of this study is to investigate acute responses of 3 minutes versus 5 minutes rest interval during squat exercise on standing broad jump distance and leg peak force output. Second to this, comparison was also made between the 3 minutes and 5 minutes rest interval. Twenty-five recreationally active participants were recruited for this study. Participants randomly attended two testing sessions, where either 3 or 5 minutes rest interval between set was prescribed in the session. In both sessions, participants performed two set of four repetitions of squat exercise at 80% of one repetition maximum. Standing broad jump were performed on a force platform before and after the squat exercise. The results of this study indicated that there was no significant difference between the 3 minutes and 5 minutes rest interval group on standing broad jump distance. However, there was significant difference in the post test between the 3 minutes rest interval group versus the 5 minutes rest inter.....
