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.
