Neural
Total repetitions per set do not seem to affect RIR accuracy when close to failure (i.e. 9RPE).
When training close to failure, perceived exertion ratings may be more reliable regardless of total repetitions.

However, total repetitions per set do not seem to effect RIR accuracy when close to failure (i.e. 9RPE).
Why this rating
Based on the statistical analysis presented in the abstract.
