The Claim
Resistance training experience has no significant effect on the accuracy of estimating repetitions to failure during resistance exercise.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Whether you're new to lifting weights or have been doing it for years, you're just as good at guessing how many more reps you can do before your muscles give out.
See the scientific wording
Resistance training experience does not affect the accuracy of estimating repetitions to failure during resistance exercise, as no significant relationship was found between training background and estimation accuracy.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Accuracy in Estimating Repetitions to Failure During Resistance Exercise
The study looked at whether people's experience with weight training affects how well they can guess how many more reps they can do before failing, and it found that experience doesn't make a difference, which matches the claim.
