The majority of "specialised" exercise configurations (e.g., supersets, drop sets, blood flow restriction) are being assessed as "shortcuts" to hypertrophy and strength improvements. However, these advanced training techniques may also offer significant benefits for systemic health functional outcomes across recreational clinical populations via locally induced metabolic responses. Stress-regulating mechanisms known enhance the body's resilience by facilitating allostasis, process coordinating adaptive processes in reaction stressors such physical training. Yet, role local stress provoked resistance has not gained much research attention despite its wide potential. Positive effects only linked improved muscular endurance, primary secondary mechanisms, but release myokines, hormones, microRNAs, immune factors, inflammatory substances other endocrine molecules that initiate numerous health-promoting modifications on a level. Resistance strategies maximise accumulation metabolites well defined, although high volume, close proximity failure shorter rests seem be necessity. Additionally, restriction provides potent alternative inducing acidosis, thereby triggering several pathways associated with immunity function even remote muscle tissues.
