Abstract
The purpose of this dissertation was to determine the effects of several loads and multiple inter-repetition rest (IRR) intervals on peak power, peak velocity, and peak force in multiple sets of hang power cleans. Additionally, this dissertation investigates the load at which power and barbell velocity are maximized in a hang power clean, which is an area of the literature that requires greater clarity. From a practical perspective it is exceedingly difficult to make training recommendations to maximize power development or prescribe load and IRR intervals in cluster loading based on the current literature. The primary findings of this dissertation are 1) 70% 1RM maximizes power and velocity as compared to 80% 1RM in multiple sets of the hang power clean, 2) 45 seconds IRR improved peak velocity and peak power relative to a traditional set configuration, and 3) peak power output at 80% 1RM with 45 seconds IRR is equivalent to power output at 70% 1RM using a traditional set configuration. To the authors’ knowledge this is only the second study to examine the effect of IRR on multiple sets of power cleans in trained participants, and the insights from this dissertation help to build a foundation for future investigations in cluster loading with weightlifting movements. The findings from this dissertation provide further evidence for the efficacy of cluster loading as a training tool to develop power in trained individuals.
