Neural
Greater chronological age (CA) is associated with more accurately assessing RIR closer to failure.
Older trainees may have an advantage in accurately gauging their exertion levels during training.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Interestingly, greater CA is associated with more accurately assessing RIR closer to failure.
