A Muscle Load Feedback Application for Strength Training: A Proof-of-Concept Study.

ABSTRACT: Muscle overload injuries in strength training might be prevented by providing personalized feedback about muscle load during a workout. In the present study, a new muscle load feedback application, which monitors and visualizes the loading of specific muscle groups, was developed in collaboration with the fitness company Gymstory.

The control group received no feedback, while t
