AB  - PURPOSE: The aims of this study were to compare mechanical outputs (i.e. power 
      and impulse), physiological (i.e. heart rate) and perceptual (i.e. effort and 
      fatigue) responses in older men to traditional-set or different cluster-set 
      configuration resistance training protocols. METHODS: In a randomized cross-over 
      design, 20 healthy old men (aged 67.2 +/- 2.1 years) completed four resistance 
      training sessions using the back squat exercise loaded with optimal power loads. 
      Training configurations were: traditional (TRA), three sets of six repetitions 
      with 120-s rest between each set; Cluster-set 1 (CLU1), 24 single-repetition 
      clusters with 10 s of rest after every cluster; Cluster-set 2 (CLU2), 12 
      double-repetition clusters with 20-s rest after every cluster; and Cluster-set 4 
      (CLU4), 6 quadruple-repetition clusters with 40-s rest after every cluster. 
      RESULTS: Cluster-set configurations resulted in greater power outputs compared to 
      traditional-set configuration (range 2.6-9.2%, all p [Formula: see text] 0.07 for 
      main effect and protocol [Formula: see text] set interactions). CLU1 and CLU2 
      induced higher heart rate (range 7.1-10.5%, all p < 0.001 for main effect and 
      protocol [Formula: see text] set interactions), lower rating of perceived 
      exertion (range - 1.3 to - 3.2 AU, all p [Formula: see text] 0.006 for pairwise 
      comparisons) and lower ratings of fatigue (range - 0.15 to - 4 AU, all p 
      [Formula: see text] 0.012 for pairwise comparisons) compared to TRA and CLU4. 
      Finally, an absolute preference for CLU2 was reported. CONCLUSIONS: Findings 
      presented here support the prescription of CLU2 as an optimal resistance training 
      configuration for trained older men using the back squat.
