B)A 1-RM can be mathematically calculated from a patient's ability to perform multiple reps at a reduced load.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement that establishing a 1-RM involves trial and error and has been determined to be invalid for use in research studies for resistance training is not entirely true. While establishing a 1-RM does involve some trial and error, it has been shown to be a valid and reliable method for assessing muscle strength and is commonly used in research studies.
