Neural
No significant differences were observed in relative intensity between the 4-6 RPE and 7-9 RPE groups.
Resistance training programs can be designed with similar intensities without significant differences in outcomes.
StrongRefutesmedium confidence
No significant differences were observed between the 4-6 RPE and 7-9 RPE groups for relative intensity (80.1 ± 4.23 vs. 83.9 ± 3.15% of 1RM; p = 0.083).
