Linear loading, the two-for-two rule, percent of one repetition maximum (1RM), RM zones,
rate of perceived exertion (RPE), repetitions in reserve, set-repetition best, autoregulatory …

Rating of perceived effort (RPE) scales are the most frequently used single-item scales in
exercise science. They offer an easy and useful way to monitor and prescribe exercise …

Background The proximity to failure in which sets are terminated has gained attention in the
scientific literature as a potentially key resistance training variable. Multiple meta-analyses …

The maximal number of repetitions that can be completed at various percentages of the one
repetition maximum (1RM)[REPS~% 1RM relationship] is foundational knowledge in …

Background Prescribing repetitions relative to task failure is an emerging approach to
resistance training. Under this approach, participants terminate the set based on their …

While proximity-to-failure is considered an important resistance training (RT) prescription
variable, its influence on physiological adaptations and short-term responses to RT is …

Background This study examined the influence of proximity-to-failure in resistance training
(RT), using subjective repetitions-in-reserve (RIR) prediction, on neuromuscular fatigue and …

Background Autoregulation has emerged as a potentially beneficial resistance training
paradigm to individualize and optimize programming; however, compared to standardized …

Despite its apparent intuitiveness and widespread interest from across various fields,'effort'is
a variable that seems difficult to define. The purpose of this article is to consider and define …

Resistance training variables such as volume, load, and frequency are well defined.
However, the variable proximity to failure does not have a consistent quantification method …
