Current research may contradict article

This page is really poorly supported by research. For example https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26666744 states the complete opposite. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.57.104.135 (talk) 11:16, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article is poorly sourced, and would benefit from the academic research findings found here, here and here. 14.2.198.139 (talk) 10:11, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the paper you're citing:

"Effect of Training Leading to Repetition Failure on Muscular Strength: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis"
(PMID: 26666744, doi:10.1007/s40279-015-0451-3)

has an issued correction:

"Erratum to: Effect of Training Leading to Repetition Failure on Muscular Strength: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis"
(PMID: 26893097, doi:10.1007/s40279-016-0509-x)

In it, the authors rewrite some statements to indicate there was no significant difference between failure and non-failure training. For example, in the abstract:

"Non-failure training resulted in a 0.6–1.3% greater strength increase than failure training." (original)

"No significant strength increases were found for failure training versus non-failure training (ES = 0.05, p = 0.73)" (corrected)

That being said, I do agree the article could use with some more studies and clearer language. Cheers — Avelludo (Talk / Contribs / Log) 03:38, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
