Intensity for jumps and lower body exercises set as a % of body weight (BW) loaded into weighted vests. Intensity for upper body exercises set as a Repetition Maximum (RM): the number of repetitions completed at a set weight. Higher RM indicates a lower workload (participant is doing lower weight for more repetitions) and a lower RM indicates a higher workload
