“…Participants in both groups improved their performance in the isometric mid-thigh pull, isometric knee extension, and push-ups test, but not in the gripper and countermovement jump. These results are directionally aligned with studies that implemented similar designs (Orange et al, 2020;Aksay, 2021;Kikuchi et al, 2021). The performance improvements could have been limited by several reasons.…”

Prescribing Intensity in Resistance Training Using Rating of Perceived Effort: A Randomized Controlled Trial

et al. 2022

Introduction: Rating of perceived effort (RPE) scales are used to prescribe intensity in resistance training (RT) in several ways. For instance, trainees can reach a specific RPE value by modifying the number of repetitions, lifted loads, or other training variables. Given the multiple approaches of prescribing intensity using RPE and its growing popularity, we compared the effects of two RPE prescription approaches on adherence rates, body composition, performance and psychological outcomes, in an online RT intervention.Methods: We randomly assigned 57 healthy participants without RT experience (60% females, age range: 18–45) to one of two groups that received two weekly RT sessions using a resistance-band for 8 weeks. In the fixed-repetition group, participants adjusted the band resistance with the goal of completing 10 repetitions and reaching a 7-RPE on a 0–10 scale by the 10th repetition. In the open-repetition group, participants selected their preferred band resistance and completed repetitions until reaching a 7-RPE by the final repetition. We measured body composition, performance, and program satisfaction rates.Results: We assessed 46 participants at post-test, 24 from the fixed-repetition group and 22 from the open-repetition group. We observed non-significant and trivial differences between groups in all outcomes (p > 0.05). We then combined the pre-post change scores of the two groups. We found that adherence rates began at 89% and gradually decreased to 42%. On average, participants increased their fat-free mass [0.3 kg (95% CI: 0.1–0.6)], isometric mid-thigh pull [5.5 kg (95% CI: 0.8–10.4)], isometric knee-extension [2.2 kg (95% CI: 0.8–3.7)], and push-ups [6.3 repetitions (95% CI: 4.5–8.2)]. We observed non-significant and trivial changes in bodyweight, grip-force, and countermovement jump. Participants reported high satisfaction rates with all components of the program.Conclusion: Participants in both groups improved their body composition and physical capacity to a similar extent, and reported comparable satisfaction rates with the programs they followed. Accordingly, either prescription approach can be used to deliver online RT sessions based on personal preferences and logistical constraints. However, since adherences rates declined over the course of the study, future research should test additional strategies aiming to maintain adherence rates.

Background Exercise is first-line treatment for class III obesity. However, living within a larger body brings unique and non-trivial challenges to exercise participation, which are not well understood. This qualitative study explored the attitudes towards, and experiences of, exercise participation in adults with class III obesity. Methods We recruited 30 adults with class III obesity (mean ± SD: age: 45.0 ± 12.5 years; body mass index: 45.8 ± 8.6 kg/m2) who were participating in a 6-month home-based aerobic and resistance exercise intervention. Participants took part in semi-structured interviews after they completed the first 3-months of the intervention. Open-ended questions were used flexibly to explore their experiences of exercise participation, encompassing perceived barriers, motivations, preferences, and benefits of exercise. Interview transcripts were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Results Three themes were developed that encapsulate participants’ views and experiences of exercise participation: (1) a web of barriers; (2) tailored exercise facilitates positive experiences; (3) a desire to live well. People with class III obesity have a strong perception that they are unable to do exercise; a view that is attributed to a lifetime of perceived judgement by others, restrictions in mobility, pain during every day activities, and failed weight loss attempts. These complex physical and psychosocial barriers to exercise were described as contributing to exercise avoidance. High value is placed on tailored exercise that accommodates for the unique needs of moving in a larger body. A desire to live a normal life and be free to carry out basic activities of daily living underpins motivations for exercise. Conclusions Our findings suggest that multicomponent obesity interventions should move away from generic exercise prescriptions designed to maximise energy expenditure, and instead move towards addressing the unique physical and psychosocial needs of people who have class III obesity with tailored, person-centred, and weight-neutral exercise interventions.

Similar to the traditional resistance training, muscle power training can be conducted with 1 to 3 sets per exercise ( Fragala et al, 2019 ; Radaelli et al, 2019 , Radaelli et al, 2018 ).…”

Social distancing measures have been used to contain the COVID-19 pandemic; nevertheless, it causes unintended greater time at home and consequently a reduction in general physical activity and an increase in sedentary time, which is harmful to older people. A decrease in daily physical activities and an increase in sedentary time culminates in an impactful skeletal muscle disuse period and reduction in neuromuscular abilities related to functional capacity. Home-based resistance training is a strategy to mitigate physical inactivity and improve or retain muscle function and functional performance. Therefore, it is an urgent time to encourage older people to perform resistance exercises at home to avoid a harmful functional decline and promote physical health.
