Acute neuromuscular fatigue, hormonal responses, and recovery in males during high-volume resistance exercises: Smith machine back squat vs horizontal leg press
SQ may provide a more potent stimulus for metabolic and hormonal responses during high-volume resistance exercise, at least partly due to the greater total work performed. Nevertheless, fatigue induced within the quadriceps femoris was similar between SQ and LP.
