Resumen	One-repetition maximum (1RM) estimation is a method to predict an athlete's maximum strength in a given lift without performing an actual maximal single repetition. Developed systematically by Matt Brzycki (1993) and refined by numerous researchers, 1RM estimation uses submaximal loads and repetition performance to extrapolate a strength ceiling. Rather than exposing untrained individuals, older adults, or post-injury athletes to the stress and injury risk of true 1RM testing, estimation provides a safer, time-efficient alternative. Multiple prediction equations exist, with varying accuracy depending on population and lift type.	Rate of force development (RFD) is the speed at which force is produced during the initial phase of muscle contraction, typically expressed as the slope of the force-time curve in the first 50, 100, or 200 milliseconds of isometric contraction. Introduced comprehensively by Aagaard and colleagues (2002), RFD is a measure of explosive strength capacity and neural drive efficiency. Unlike maximal voluntary strength (which captures peak force), RFD captures how quickly an athlete can generate that force—a critical quality in sports requiring rapid, explosive movements (sprinting starts, jumping, tackling). RFD improves dramatically with strength training, reflecting increased motor unit recruitment rate and firing frequency.
