The study aim was to investigate a comparison of muscle activity fatigue between maximal and submaximal strength gains during the bench press in men. It was hypothesized that maximal voluntary contraction (%MVC) would similar gains between maximal and submaximal strength gains during the bench press, but median frequency (MDF) would increase in maximal compared with submaximal exercise. Employing a randomized, counterbalanced crossover design, 12 men were asked to perform maximal repetitions and submaximal repetitions (concentric: 1-s, eccentric: 1-s, 2-s/repetition) to failure with a load of 85% of 1RM for the bench press, with a 3-minute recovery between the sets. Each subject was tested for the number of repetitions and sets, total work in bench press. Surface electromyography (EMG) was recorded from the pectoralis major, deltoid anterior, and triceps brachii for %MVC and MDF. Total work was significantly higher in the submaximal repetition exercise than that the maximal repetition exercise (p<.05). Muscle fatigue of pectoralis major, deltoid anterior and triceps brachii were significantly smaller in the submaximnal repetition exercise than that the maximal repetition exercise (p<.05, respectively). However, muscle activity of pectoralis major, deltoid anterior, and triceps brachii were not significantly different between exercises. Our study showed that a smaller muscle fatigue in submaximal repetitions, despite higher in total work and a similar in muscle activity were observed. These results suggest that submaximal repetitions during the bench press would be enhanced intensity and/or volume compared with maximal repetitions exercise.

Background: Several grip strength tests are commonly used for detecting sincerity of effort. However, there is still no widely accepted standardized sincerity of effort test. Therefore, this study aimed to examine whether grip strength test in three wrist positions could distinguish between maximal and submaximal efforts. Methods: Twenty healthy individuals (10 men and 10 women) with a mean age of $26.7{\pm}3.92years$ participated in this study. All participants completed two test conditions (maximal and submaximal efforts) in three wrist positions (neutral, flexion, and extension) using both hands. Each participant exerted 100% effort in the maximal effort condition and 50% effort in the submaximal effort condition. The participants performed three repetitions of the grip strength test for each session. Results: The results showed that there is a significant main effect of the type of effort (p < 0.001), wrist position (p < 0.001), and hand (p = 0.028). There were also significant types of effort and wrist position interactions (p < 0.001) and effort and hand interactions (p < 0.028). The results also showed that grip strength was highest at the wrist in neutral position in both the maximal and the submaximal effort condition. Grip strength values of the three wrist positions in the maximal effort condition were noticeably greater than those in the submaximal effort condition. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that grip strength test in three wrist positions can differentiate a maximal effort from a submaximal effort. Thus, this test could potentially be used to detect sincerity of effort in clinical setting.

We are designed was to find an efficient warm-up method for resistance training for muscle hypertrophy, and 10 males with at least 3 years of resistance training experience were selected as subjects. The 75% 1RM was measured directly based on the pre-measured bench press 1RM. After that, the main experiment of 75% 1RM bench press according to the three warm-up methods was conducted one week apart, and all experiments were randomized and cross-over. Performance according to the warm-up method (3) was measured by total exercise volume, and physiological changes were determined by myocardial workload. All post-measurement data were analyzed using SPSS.22.0 and analyzed using repeated measures one-way ANOVA and contrast comparisons were made using the deviation method. The results showed that the method of gradually increasing the number of repetitions by performing the same intensity as the intensity of the main exercise in the form of muscle hypertrophy, but at submaximal repetitions, showed the highest performance.

본 연구는 남자 비만 중학생을 대상으로 최대하 방법의 PACER 검사를 통해 최대산소섭취량($\dot{V}O_{2max}$)을 추정할 수 있는 추정식을 개발하고자 중학교 남자 비만 학생 57명을 대상으로 Bruce 프로토콜의 최대운동부하검사와 PACER 검사를 실시하였다. 최대하 수준을 결정하기 위해 PACER 운동 중 목표심박수(75%$HR_{max}$ 이상)가 나타나는 왕복횟수 구간별 대사반응을 측정하였으며, $%HR_{max}$ 구간별(75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%) 대사반응 지표를 단계적 선택법으로 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 다음의 모형이 산출되었다. 모형 1(90%$HR_{max}$의 모형): $\dot{V}O_{2max}$(ml/kg/min) = 142.721-0.275(왕복횟수)-0.48(심박수)+0.177(체중)-1.536(연령)[표준오차 3.90ml/kg/min; 2단계까지 운동진행]. 모형 2(95%$HR_{max}$의 모형): $\dot{V}O_{2max}$(ml/kg/min) = 182.851-0.103(왕복횟수)-0.744(심박수)+0.186(체중)-0.324(연령)[표준오차 4.51ml/kg/min; 3단계까지 운동진행]. 모형 1의 추정된 $\dot{V}O_{2max}$와 실측 $\dot{V}O_{2max}$간 차이 평균은 $3.25{\pm}6.32ml/kg/min$(%error=6.84%), 모형 2는 $3.16{\pm}4.54ml/kg/min$(%error=5.75%). 비만인 대상자들에게 최대하 운동방법으로는 심박수와 운동지속시간이 짧았던 모형 1이 모형 2보다 적합한 형태로 생각된다.
