Strength and muscle thickness changes.
| Variable | P-value | Size of effect (mean ± 90% CL) | Chance of RPE-loading advantage (≥0.20 ES) (%) | Chance of trivial difference (−0.19 to 0.19 ES) (%) | Chance of %1RM-loading advantage (≥0.20 ES) (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Squat 1RM | 0.32 | 0.50 ± 0.63 | 79 | 18 | 4 |
| Bench 1RM | 0.52 | 0.28 ± 0.73 | 57 | 29 | 14 |
| Combined 1RM | 0.38 | 0.48 ± 0.68 | 72 | 22 | 6 |
| PMT | 0.66 | 0.15 ± 0.79 | 46 | 32 | 22 |
| VLMT50 | 0.76 | −0.13 ± 0.76 | 23 | 33 | 44 |
| VLMT70 | 0.79 | −0.06 ± 0.68 | 25 | 38 | 37 |
Between group differences in strength and muscle thickness. CL, confidence limit; RPE, rating of perceived exertion; ES, effect size; 1RM, one repetition maximum; PMT, pectoralis major muscle thickness; VLMT50, vastus lateralis muscle thickness at 50% femur length; VLMT70, vastus lateralis muscle thickness at 50% femur length.
