The effect of a giant-set training approach and a beta-alanine supplement (ALLMAX) to developing strength endurance for bodybuilding athletes

Abstract

The current research aims to prepare giant group exercises (GIANT SET) and identify the effect of supplementing with the nutritional supplement Beta Alanine and giant group exercises (GIANT SET) in developing some forms of strength for bodybuilding (fitness) players.  The researchers used the experimental approach with a dual design, using the two experimental groups and comparing the pre- and post-measurements. Because it suits the nature and problem of the research. The research community was selected and the number of players for this weight and height category is 40 players in Karbala Governorate. A random sample consisting of (10) bodybuilding and fitness players was selected, their heights ranging from (161 cm - 189 cm) and their weights (77-83), who represent (25%) of the research population. Statistical methods were used within SPSS. The researchers concluded that the Giant group exercises with the nutritional supplement beta-alanine had a positive effect on the development of endurance, strength, limbs, body, legs, arms, and shoulders for members of the second experimental group. It also affected anthropometric and hormonal variables. The researcher recommends the necessity of using Giant Set exercises designed for players because of their positive effect in increasing force endurance in working muscles and increasing muscle mass.
