Mean (±SD) of anthropometrics, absolute and relative strength for men and women.
Fig 2.
Average (±SD) velocity averaged over men and women for each repetition during the 1-, 3-, 6-, and 10-RM attempts.
* indicates a significantly different average velocity with all other RMs at a p<0.05 level. Dashed line indicates the corresponding velocities between the different RMs.
Fig 3.
Average (±SEM) maximal angular hip and knee extension and plantar flexion velocity averaged over men and women for each repetition during the 1-, 3-, 6-, and 10-RM attempts.
* indicates a significantly lower angular velocity for men compared to women for this RM at a p<0.05 level. † indicates a significantly lower knee extension velocity of the last repetition compared with 3- and 6-RM at a p<0.05 level.
Fig 4.
Average EMG amplitude per repetition normalized to 1-RM for men and women for each muscle during the 3-, 6-, and 10-RM attempts.
* indicates a significantly lower EMG amplitude for men compared to women for this RM at a p<0.05 level. † indicates a significantly lower activity of last repetition compared with 1-RM amplitude at a p<0.05 level.
