Examination Test Re-test Reliability of the 1RM Bench Press and Leg Press Between Males and Females Jariel Jack 68563 Abstract The 1RM is widely considered a reliable measure of maximal strength One-repetition most extreme (1RM) in weight preparing is the greatest measure of power that can be produced in one maximal withdrawal. One redundancy greatest can be utilized for deciding a person's most extreme quality. The rationale of this study was to examine the test re-test reliability of the 1RM bench press in undergraduate students. Thirteen healthy participants (Subject age: S= 23.31 ± SD = 6.97yrs; Mass: M = 73.59 ± SD = 14.33 kgs) completed the 1RM leg press and bench press over 2 testing sessions.

Measured participant’s stature and mass (in socks). The participant laid supine on the flat bench with feet firmly on the floor. We made sure that the bar was in line with the participant’s eyes. We had two experimenters stand at either side of the weights bar to assist the participant if needed. We estimated the participant’s 1RM. For experienced participants, have them estimate their maximum. For first time participants, we estimated their perceived 1RM using their body weight. Each participant performed a light warm-up of 5-10 repetitions at 40 to 60% of perceived maximum weight. We had the participant grip the bar with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder width apart. The participant lifted the bar extending the wrists very slightly to release the catch-hooks. The subject lowered the bar until it is just above the chest, then push the bar up to full elbow extension (should have a 3-5 degree bend) while maintaining body position and without arching the back. Breathe in as the bar is lowered and exhale as the bar is …show more content…

There was a significantly strong relationship was found between sessions 1 and 2 for males, r = 0.988, n = 6, p = 0.001. While a high correlation was found for females, this did not attain a statistical significance, r = 0.639, n = 7, p = 0.122. Nevertheless, a Pearson product moment correlation found a significantly strong relationship between the 2 sessions, suggesting that the 1RM is a reliable measure of maximum strength. Discussion In the recent study, our main findings showed that the 1RM test, is a reliable and simple method for assessing maximum strength for both men and women. These two studies supported our study, Reliability of the One-Repetition Maximum Test Based on Muscle Group and Gender; and Comparison Between Bench Press and Leg Press for Changes in Serum Creatine Kinase Activity And Muscles Soreness. The differences were, when separated by test type, there was a significantly a high correlation was found for the 1RM bench press, r = 0.997, n = 7, p = 0.001. While the 1RM leg press was found, it was not significant, r = 0.772, n = 6, p = 0.072.

The Unapologetically Powerful program aims to remedy this by teaching users how to notice even the smallest signs that their body is straining more than it should, no matter what kind of movement it's making, be it weightlifting, running or simply laying down to get comfortable. By knowing when to go further and when to slow down, risks of permanent damage decrease significantly, allowing you to improve your strength indefinitely without suffering a crippling injury that will force you to recover while your muscles

Each year duchenne muscular dystrophy affects around 1 in 3500 male births worldwide(1). Duchenne affects patient's whole life since it attacks skeletal system, respiratory system, and in progress stages it may attack the heart(2).The phases of duchenne muscular dystrophy help scientists understand the disease because each phase has its own symptoms. Moreover, each phase attacks specific systems and organs in the patient's body. Duchenne muscular dystrophy develops relentlessly over time, and can be divided into three phases, early phase , transitional phase, and teenager and adult phase(1). The Early phase of duchenne muscular dystrophy begins from the day is diagnosed until the patient is 6 years old(1).Duchenne can by diagnosed through a muscle biopsy, taking a sample

The data does not support the students hypothesis because it was incorrect. A possible explanation for these results is when you exercise your blood starts flowing throughout your body which causes the muscles to move faster and the amount of clothespin squeezes to increase. When a person exercises the blood flow of the person increases. When the blood flow increases, the person's level of oxygen also increases and then, when oxygen is delivered to the muscles a process called anaerobic respiration occurs. When you rest, not a large amount of oxygen is getting to your muscles which leads to the increase of lactic acid, and the lactic acid causes your muscles to fatigue.

1. The potential errors for body mass index (BMI) is that the measurement does not separate how much weight is fat or lean body mass. For example, a muscular person could have a higher BMI but more muscle mass and could be falsely described as obese. Some potential errors in a waist to hip ratio depends on the individual. An individual may be pear shaped, which are people that have a larger hip compared to waist.

The particiapnts were given a five-minute rest period between each set. We provided a one- minute rest period between the squats (front and back). For five seconds the subject would maximally contract the knee extensors against manual resistance for 5 seconds, which is the same way we measured MVC. The participants would also be shaved when necessary for placement, which was something that we did not do (Gullett, J. C., Tillman, M. D., Gutierrez, G. M.,

Gabriella Wolf Ally Weiss Moshe Shoenfeld Muscular System Outline Part One- About the muscular system: Muscular System Facts- Although there are over 600 muscles in your body, there are only three types of muscles- skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. The only action a muscle can perform is to contract, but the contractions help us perform millions of different things -- from pumping our blood to lifting up something heavy. The muscle receives the information from a nerve cell.

This comes to prove that the case study athlete is on par with the athletes in the same division when it comes to squats, showing that his lower body is well developed like all the others. Being this strong can also mean that there is too much emphasis put on squats instead of other exercises which in the long term will certainly hinder performance and make the athletes unstable while performing in its specific sport, and that could possibly also increase the risk of

Changes/improvements highlighted: There were several improvements and changes that can be identified from the post fitness test in comparison to my client’s initial assessment pre-program results. For grip strength my client improved from her initial assessment results which were “average” based on norms for females 16-19y to “good” for both her left and right hand grip strength, therefore indicating an improvement in her upper body muscular strength. For the single leg wall sit test my client improved from “good” rating for females to “excellent” and also demonstrated an improvement in her form when carrying out the test (i.e., her raised leg didn’t move around). Such results indicate an increase in her lower body muscular strength Another area of improvement was the sit and reach test, where my client improved from an “average” rating based on norms for women to a “good” rating, indicating an improvement in her flexibility. Based on my client’s anthropometric measurements her BMI of 60 indicates she is in a normal healthy weight range for females her age based on European measurements.

I went into the weightlifting room and attempted a five-pound weight increase on my previous ten-pound barbell. While I could lower the bar, I was unsuccessful in lifting it up and pressing it against my chest to complete the entire movement. I reverted back to the ten-pound barbell and completed about 25 bench pressures before leaving the gym. While I did not increase my weight, I felt very confident in my ability to improve and I thought my weightlifting session
