Load-velocity relationships are commonly used to estimate one-repetition maximums (1RMs). Proponents suggest these estimates can be obtained at high frequencies and assist with manipulating loads according to session-by-session fluctuations. Given th...

Available from: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/6DXP5

The load lifted during resistance training is frequently prescribed in terms of a percentage of the maximum load that can be lifted for one repetition (1RM;González-Badillo and Sánchez-Medina 2010). This process allows for both individualisation of a... Read More about The accuracy of load-velocity relationships to predict 1RM: a systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis.
