Perceptual, Mechanical, and Electromyographic Responses to Different Relative Loads in the Parallel Squat

Chapman, M, Larumbe-Zabala, E, Gosss-Sampson, M, Colpus, M, Triplett, NT, and Naclerio, F. Perceptual, mechanical, and electromyographic responses to different relative loads in the parallel squat. J Strength Cond Res 33(1): 8–16, 2019—The effectiveness of the OMNI-RES (0–10) Scale and the electromyographic signal for monitoring changes in the movement velocity were examined during a set to muscular failure using different percentages of 1 repetition maximum (1RM) in the parallel squat exercise (PSQ). Twelve men (26.3 ± 5.8 years) were evaluated on 8 separate days with 48 hours of rest between sessions. After determining the 1RM value, participants underwent 7 tests until achieving muscular failure with the following percentage ranges: 30 to
