Neural
More repetitions performed in a set are associated with greater inaccuracy in RIR predictions.
Practitioners should consider the number of repetitions when assessing RIR to improve accuracy.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Thus, being farther from failure and performing more repetitions in a set were associated with more inaccurate predictions.
Why this rating
Based on study design from abstract.
