Abstract: The aim of this study is to compare different rest times in squat and bench press performance and to calculate footballers’ maximum power. 40 male footballer volunteers with BMI=22.79 were invited to the study. The athletes put in groups C 1; n = 10, C 2; n = 10, C 3; n = 10 and C 4; n = 10. 8 weeks training with an intensity of 70% 1RM was started; each session included warm-up and 4 sets of squat and 4 sets of bench press. Rest time between sets for the four groups: C1, S=45; C2, S=90; C3, S=180; and C4 a combination of the three. The result with respect to P<0.05 showed that strength program with different relaxation times increases 1RM, but there was no significant difference between the groups.
