i am conducting research in my univerity and im trying to figure out if there is an easier way of predicting a 1RM to estimate a 20-35% 1 RM for an exercise protocol.
Any suggestions on how to do it and if theres any research that can help with it.
Predicting a one-repetition maximum (1RM) from a maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) for calf raises can be challenging because the relationship between MVC and 1RM can vary between individuals and depend on various factors such as muscle fiber composition, neuromuscular efficiency, and training history. However, some general guidelines and equations have been proposed in the field of strength and conditioning.
One commonly used method is to estimate the 1RM based on a percentage of the MVC.
