To the Editor: We read with interest the study by Looney et al.(13), investigating the effects of
load on electromyographic (EMG) amplitude and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) during …

Purpose To test the effects of 4 weeks of unilateral low-load resistance training (LLRT), with
and without blood flow restriction (BFR), on maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), muscle …

Background Resistance exercise training (RET) is a common and well-established method
to induce hypertrophy and improvement in strength. Interestingly, fish oil supplementation …

We investigated the effects of low-load resistance training to failure performed with different
rest intervals on acute hormonal responses and long-term muscle and strength gains. In the …

Background: Preseason training optimises adaptations in the physical qualities required in
rugby union athletes. Sleep can be compromised during periods of intensified training …

Background and purpose Although combining classical resistance (RT) and power training
(PT) might be an efficient strategy to achieve optimal enhancements in body composition …

To investigate the effects of a single high-load (80% of one repetition maximum [1RM]) set
with additional drop sets descending to a low-load (30% 1RM) without recovery intervals on …

Abstract Dinyer, TK, Byrd, MT, Garver, MJ, Rickard, AJ, Miller, WM, Burns, S, Clasey, JL, and
Bergstrom, HC. Low-load vs. high-load resistance training to failure on one repetition …

Background Traditionally, the loads in resistance training are prescribed as a percentage of
the heaviest load that can be successfully lifted once (ie, 1 Repetition Maximum [1RM]). An …
