Minimum load threshold in resistance training: insights into muscle metabolism, excitation, and fatigue across the repetition continuum
The characterisations of the acute physiological responses to RT across light to heavy loads performed in this study provide potential insight for determining the minimal load threshold in RT and suggest a potential proximity between the CL and the load associated with blood flow occlusion during contraction.
