Energy balance

The difference between actual and predicted repetitions performed (RPE difference) is significantly lower at a called RPE of 9 compared to 6 in both exercises.

Understanding RPE can help in predicting performance during training.

StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The RPEDIFF was significantly (p < 0.001) lower at the called 9 RPE versus the called 6 RPE in the front squat for males and females and in the HHBD for males and females.
