“…Studies have shown that the relationship, however, can be affected by training conditions, gender, and inter-individual differences (Braith et al 1993;Mayhew et al 1992;Mayhew et al 1995). Sakamoto and Sinclair (2006) further reported that the relationship was affected by lifting velocity, with faster speeds producing greater numbers of repetitions at given intensities.…”

During a set of resistance exercise performed until exhaustion, the relationship between intensity and the number of repetitions can be affected by lifting speed, with faster speeds producing higher numbers. The hypothesized mechanisms include enhanced utilization of the stretch-shortening cycle. This study investigated muscle activations under varying speeds and intensities during bench press using surface electromyography (EMG) to suggest further mechanisms for the above finding. Thirteen weight-trained men (21.7 ± 3.6-year-old) performed bench press until fatigue under five intensities (40-80% 1RM), and four speeds (slow 5.6-s/repetition, medium 2.8-s/repetition, fast 1.9-s/repetition, and ballistic maximum speed). Surface EMG was recorded from the pectoralis, deltoid, and triceps for root-mean-square amplitude and median frequency. EMG amplitudes were greater for faster and heavier conditions before fatigue. Faster conditions, however, produced a significant fall in amplitude during the final concentric phase compared to slower movements. After fatigue, EMG amplitude increased, with the speed effect being maintained. The intensity effect on amplitude either disappeared or remained similar, depending on the muscles. Median frequencies before fatigue were similar among speeds and intensities. The fall in frequency after fatigue was similar across speeds, but greater for lighter intensities. It was concluded that reduced muscle activation during the final concentric phase in faster conditions allowed a better muscle pump, explaining the increased repetition numbers. Fatigue levels are likely to have been similar across speeds, but greater for lower intensities. An incomplete rise in EMG amplitude after fatigue for lower intensities could imply an increased contribution of central fatigue or neuromuscular transmission failure.

“…Approaches for determining the N-RM reported in literature [7,15] are based on statistical derived equations for a certain population derived from extensive experimental investigations. The so-obtained equations are valid for the whole investigated population, but for one individual the error between computed and experimentally determined N-RM The linear regression analysis with a high positive correlation coefficient of 0.93 supports the proposed approach.…”

“…For instance the model used in Ref. [7,14] is of the form b 1 ¼ 41:9, b 2 ¼ 0:055). However differences (b 0 and b 2 are within one standard deviation) can be observed, which are mainly due to the different exercise considered.…”

“…The multiple repetition maximum test involved three to four sets of progressively increasing weight while attempting to complete between 6 and 8 repetitions (actual range 3-10) before failure or an inability to maintain correct technique on the final set. 1RM strength was predicted from the number of repetitions and weight for the final set using the previously validated equation of Mayhew et al: 35 predicted 1RM = (100 × weight)÷(52.2+(41.9 − 0.055 × no. of repetitions )).…”

This pilot randomized dose-comparison trial provides preliminary data to suggest that RT 3 days per week compared with 2 days per week may improve the strength and physical functioning in prostate cancer survivors, but may also blunt improvements in psychosocial functioning. Larger and more targeted phase II and III trials are needed to confirm the potentially complex effects of RT frequency in prostate cancer survivors.
