The purpose of this research was to investigate how accurate trained lifters were at gauging intra-set rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) in the squat, bench press, and deadlift. Ten resistance-trained males completed four sets to failure with 80% of their one-repetition maximum (1RM) and verbally indicated when they believed they were at a “6” and “9” RPE. Across all sets and all lifts, the called 9 RPE was more accurate than the called 6 RPE. Additionally, RPE calls were more accurate during set four vs. set one on the squat and deadlift at both the called 6 and 9 RPEs. Further bench press RPE calls were more accurate than squat and deadlift RPE at the called 6, while both bench and deadlift RPE calls were more accurate than squat RPEs at the called 9. Importantly across all sets all RPE calls assessed repetitions in reserve within one repetition of precision. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2018. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

The purpose of this study was to assess athletic performance measures following two different loading conditions in the back squat exercise. Fourteen NCAA Division I tennis players were randomly assigned to either a low-resistance (50-60% of 1 repetition maximum [1RM]) training group or a high-resistance (65-90% 1RM) training group. The eight weeks of training consisted of 3 training sessions per week using a complete strength training program designed for sport performance enhancement. Performance in the 1RM back squat, 10 yard sprint and a countermovement vertical jump (CMJ) was assessed. There were no significant pretest to posttest differences in improving lower-body power production as measured by the 1 RM back squat, 10yd sprint and countermovement vertical jump in either group. The results of this study indicate that low-resistance, high-velocity training and high-resistance, low-velocity training is equally effective for improving lower-body power production. / School of Physical Education, Sport, and Exercise Science

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of weight loadings and repetitions, frequency of exercise, and knowledge of theoretical principles of weight training on changes in muscular strength. Another purpose was to analyze these effects and determine implications for coaches, physical educators, physical therapists, and others interested in determining the optimum combination of the three variables for increasing muscular strength.
