תקציר	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.	The reactive strength index (RSI) is a measure of lower-body reactive strength and elastic energy utilization, calculated as jump height divided by the contact time between landing from a drop and takeoff. Introduced by Bobbert and colleagues (1987), RSI quantifies the efficiency of the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC)—the ability to rapidly switch from eccentric (lengthening) to concentric (shortening) muscle contractions. High RSI indicates rapid, forceful engagement of muscles' elastic properties (tendons, contractile proteins) and is relevant in sports requiring rapid rebound (sprinting, jumping, rebounding). RSI is trainable and sensitive to plyometric training.
