What this work gives Aellic

With volume load equated, 40, 60 and 80 % 1RM were equivalent, “however, 20 % 1RM was suboptimal” (vastus lateralis cross-sectional area +8.9 % at 20 % versus ~20 % for all the others).

Correction of 25 July 2026

The registry named a 30 % boundary — the paper tests 20/40/60/80 % and therefore places the break somewhere between 20 and 40 %, not at 30 %.

The entry on the register was wrong. It was not replaced but kept, with what holds instead standing next to it.
