Energy balance
No significant group × time interactions were observed between the two training protocols.
Both training approaches yield similar results, allowing flexibility in training intensity without compromising strength gains.
StrongRefutesmedium confidence
However, no significant group × time interactions were observed (p > 0.05).
Why this rating
The study design includes a controlled comparison of two training protocols.

- Both the 4-6 RPE group and the 7-9 RPE group experienced significant increases in back squat 1RM, with the 4-6 RPE group increasing from 142.29 kg to 156.07 kg (+11.53%) and the 7-9 RPE group increasing from 137.57 kg to 152.64 kg (+11.68%).Strong
- 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).Strong
