Figure 1. Rate pressure product (mmHg x beats/min) in the bench press exercise during different protocols. Data are means (±SD). CP - continuous protocols, DP5 - discontinuous protocol with a 5-second pause between the fifty and sixtieth repetition, DP15 - discontinuous protocol with a 15-second pause between the fifty and sixtieth repetition. * p < 0.05 vs baseline; ‡ p < 0.05 vs 1set; †  p < 0.05 vs CP.
