Neural
Subjects tended to overpredict RIR in lower repetition sets and underpredict RIR in higher repetition sets.
Practitioners should be aware that athletes may misjudge their effort based on the number of repetitions they are performing.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
At the predicted 4 RIR, the covariate repetitions per set affected raw RIRDIFF in both the squat (p = 0.007) and bench press (p < 0.001), indicating that subjects tended to overpredict RIR in lower repetition sets and underpredict RIR in higher repetition sets.
