Predicting Resistance Repetitions at Various Loads: A Meta-Analysis
This review article focuses on the maximal number of repetitions (REPS) achievable at various percentages of one repetition maximum (%1RM), a critical relationship for resistance exercise programming. The authors conducted a meta-regression and moderator analysis using data from nearly 7,000 individuals to update existing guidelines, which were based on limited studies and lacked measures of uncertainty or individual variation. Their findings suggest that while sex, age, and training status have minimal influence on this relationship, specific exercises like the leg press and bench press demonstrate unique REPS ~ %1RM profiles, necessitating separate recommendations. Ultimately, this research provides more precise and comprehensive tables for prescribing resistance exercises, acknowledging the need for further data collection on other exercises and diverse populations.
