The Claim
Men exhibit greater repetition estimation accuracy than women specifically during leg press exercise at certain actual repetition to failure ranges, while no significant sex difference was observed for chest press 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.
When doing leg press exercises, men are better at guessing how many reps they can do before getting tired compared to women, but for chest press exercises, there's no difference between men and women in guessing this.
See the scientific wording
Men demonstrate greater repetition estimation accuracy than women specifically for leg press exercise at certain actual repetition to failure ranges, while no significant sex difference was found for chest press exercise.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Accuracy in Estimating Repetitions to Failure During Resistance Exercise
The study looked at how well men and women can guess how many more reps they can do during exercises, and it found that men were better at guessing for leg presses in some cases, but there was no difference for chest presses, which matches the claim.
