The purpose of this investigation was to assess the effect of resistance exercise performed to volitional failure on ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) using power as an indication of fatigue. 12 male participants (M age = 21.9 yr., SD = 1.3) performed one set of back squats at three different intensities (50%, 70%, and 90% of one repetition maximum) for both a pre-determined number of repetitions (3) and to volitional failure. RPE was significantly different between sets at 50%, 70%, and 90% when performed to a pre-determined number of repetitions, but not during volitional failure. A decrease in power between the first and the last repetitions in the volitional failure sets suggests that fatigue may confound the relationship between RPE and intensity.

Background: Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is a supportive therapy for acute respiratory failure with increased risk of packed red blood cells (PRBC) transfusion. Blood cell salvage (BCS) aims to reduce blood transfusion, but its efficacy is unclear. This study aimed to estimate the effect of BCS at the time of removal of the ECMO circuit (ECMO decannulation) on PRBC transfused.

Article Synopsis
  • This study examined how different types of blood flow restriction (BFR) cuffs, single-chamber (SC-BFR) and multi-chamber (MC-BFR), affect exercise performance, heart responses, and feelings during workouts when participants exercise until they can't anymore.
  • Twenty-seven active participants performed resistance training under three conditions: SC-BFR, MC-BFR, and no BFR (N-BFR) to analyze various metrics like heart rate and exercise discomfort.
  • Results showed that SC-BFR resulted in less overall reps and lower discomfort compared to the other methods, indicating that the type of BFR cuff used significantly influences exercise outcomes.

To investigate the acute effects of 4 sets of autoregulated (AR-BFR) versus non-autoregulated (NAR-BFR) applied pressures during blood flow restriction (BFR) resistance exercise to volitional failure compared with low-load exercise without BFR. A randomized crossover design study was conducted on 32 healthy adults (20.8 ± 2.

Background: It is unclear whether chronically training close to volitional failure influences motor unit recruitment strategies during fatigue.

Purpose: We compared resistance training to near volitional failure . non-failure on individual motor unit action potential amplitude (MUAP) and surface electromyographic excitation (sEMG) during fatiguing contractions.
