A lower training age (TA) is related to increased difficulty of repetitions in reserve (RIR) assessment when 3 or more RIR exist.
Trainers should consider the training age of individuals when assessing perceived exertion during resistance training.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Our findings suggest that a lower TA is related to increased difficulty of RIR assessment when 3 or more RIR exist.
