Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Subjective auto-regulation trainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants complete their resistance-training sets to termination based on rating of perceived exertion

Group II: Objective auto-regulation trainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants complete their resistance-training sets to termination based on reaching a critical slow velocity

Group III: Traditional standardized trainingActive Control1 Intervention

Participants complete their resistance-training sets by lifting a prescribed percentage of their estimated one-repetition maximum (as determined from baseline four-repetition maximum strength testing)
