Answer: b. False

Step-by-step explanation:

The one repetition maximum or (1RM) test is a test which is used to measure the strength capacity of the individuals typically in a non-laboratory environment. It is define as the maximum weight that an individual can lift only with one repetition and with the use of the correct technique. This is basically done to check the strength capacities, strength imbalances and also to evaluate the effectiveness of a particular training programmes.

It can be tested on large varieties of populations that actually range from children aged 6 years and more, middle aged patients those are suffering from coronary heart disease.
