The relationship between the number of repetitions performed at given intensities is different in endurance and strength trained athletes

What this work gives Aellic

Why a repetition-based estimate degrades at higher rep counts for reasons no formula can fix: at 70 % 1RM endurance runners managed 39.9 ± 17.6 repetitions against weightlifters' 17.9 ± 2.8, and at 80 % 19.8 ± 6.4 against 11.8 ± 2.7 (both p < 0.05); at 90 % the difference vanished. Above roughly 10 repetitions the estimate depends more on training history than on which equation is used. Small sample — 8 athletes per group.
