Taking longer rests between weightlifting sets may benefit muscle growth, say researchers.

The research reveals that men who had longer rest periods between four weightlifting sets showed a significant increase in muscle rebuilding activity - a process that aids muscle growth - compared with those who had shorter rest periods.

Study co-author Dr. Leigh Breen, from the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, and colleagues recently published their findings in the journal Experimental Physiology.
