Neural
The 7-9 RPE group trained with significantly higher average relative intensity (82.2% of 1RM) compared to the 4-6 RPE group (72.0% of 1RM).
Higher intensity training may lead to better strength outcomes, suggesting a focus on intensity for advanced lifters.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The 7-9 RPE group trained with significantly higher average relative intensity (82.2 ± 5.18 vs. 72.0 ± 4.57 %1RM, p = .002).
Why this rating
The study design includes a controlled comparison of two training protocols.
