ABSTRACT Velocity-based training (VBT) is a contemporary method of resistance that enables accurate and objective prescription intensities volumes. This review provides an applied framework for the theory application VBT. Specifically, this gives detail on how to: use velocity to provide feedback, estimate strength, develop load-velocity profiles load prescription, statistics monitor velocity. Furthermore, discussion loss thresholds, different methods VBT can be implemented within...
This study examined the reliability and validity of three methods estimating one-repetition maximum (1RM) during free-weight prone bench pull exercise. Twenty-six men (22 rowers four weightlifters) performed an incremental loading test until reaching their 1RM, followed by a set repetitions-to-failure. Eighteen participants were re-tested to conduct analysis. The 1RM was estimated through lifts-to-failure equations proposed Lombardi O'Connor, general load-velocity (L-V) relationships...

ABSTRACT Understanding the physical qualities of athletes can lead to improved training prescription, monitoring, and ranking. Consequently, testing profiling is an important aspect strength conditioning. However, results often be difficult interpret because wide range available tests outcome variables, diverse forms technology used, varying levels standardization implemented. Furthermore, easily misrepresented without careful consideration if fundamental scientific principles are not...
This study established the between-days reliability and sensitivity of a countermovement jump (CMJ), plyometric push-up, well-being questionnaire, whole-blood creatine kinase concentration ([CK]) in elite male youth rugby union players. The also 1, 2, or 3 CMJs plyometric-push-up attempts. Twenty-five players completed tests on 2 occasions separated by 5 d (of rest). Between-days typical error, coefficient variation (CV), smallest worthwhile change (SWC) were calculated for [CK], CMJ metrics...
Abstract Weakley, J, Wilson, K, Till, Banyard, H, Dyson, Phibbs, P, Read, D, and Jones, B. Show me, tell encourage me: The effect of different forms feedback on resistance training performance. J Strength Cond Res 34(11): 3157–3163, 2020—When performing training, verbal kinematic visual are known to enhance In addition, providing encouragement can assist in the attenuation fatigue. However, effects these have never been compared. Consequently, this study aimed quantify feedback, barbell...
Abstract Purpose Investigate the acute and short-term (i.e., 24 h) effects of traditional (TRAD), superset (SS), tri-set (TRI) resistance training protocols on perceptions intensity physiological responses. Methods Fourteen male participants completed a familiarisation session three TRAD, SS, TRI) in randomised-crossover design. Rating perceived exertion, lactate concentration ([Lac]), creatine kinase ([CK]), countermovement jump (CMJ), testosterone, cortisol concentrations was measured pre,...
The aim of this study was to investigate the differences and long-term reliability in perceptual, metabolic, neuromuscular responses velocity loss resistance training protocols. Using a repeated, counterbalanced, crossover design, twelve team-sport athletes completed 5-sets barbell back-squats at load corresponding mean concentric ~0.70 m·s-1. On different days, repetitions were performed until 10%, 20% or 30% attained, with outcome measures collected after each set. Sessions repeated...
Prescribing resistance training using velocity loss thresholds can enhance exercise quality by mitigating neuromuscular fatigue. As little is known regarding performance during these protocols, we aimed to assess the effects of 10%, 20%, and 30% on kinetic, kinematic, repetition characteristics in free-weight back squat.Using a randomized crossover design, 16 resistance-trained men were recruited complete 5 sets barbell squat. Lifting load corresponded mean concentric (MV) ∼0.70 m·s-1 (115...
This aims of this study were (I) to determine the velocity variable and regression model which best fit load-velocity relationship during free-weight prone bench pull exercise, (II) compare reliability attained at each percentage one-repetition maximum (1RM) between different variables models, (III) within- between-subject variability %1RM. Eighteen men (14 rowers four weightlifters) performed an incremental test exercise in two sessions. General individual relationships modelled through...
To compare the effects of velocity-based training (VBT) and 1-repetition-maximum (1RM) percentage-based (PBT) on changes in strength, loaded countermovement jump (CMJ), sprint performance.A total 24 resistance-trained males performed 6 weeks full-depth free-weight back squats 3 times per week a daily undulating format, with groups matched for sets repetitions. The PBT group lifted fixed relative loads varying from 59% to 85% preintervention 1RM. VBT aimed sessional target velocity that was...
Limited research has compared the physical qualities of adolescent rugby union (RU) players across differing playing standards. This study therefore academy and school Under-18 RU players. One-hundred eighty-four (professional regional academy, n = 55 school, 129) male underwent a testing battery to quantify height, body mass, strength (bench press pull-up), speed (10, 20 40 m), 10 m momentum (calculated; velocity * mass) proxy measure aerobic fitness (Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level...
Feedback can enhance acute physical performance. However, its effects on adaptation have received little attention. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine effect feedback during a 4-wk training program jump, sprint, and strength adaptations.A total 28 semiprofessional male rugby union players were strength-matched into 2 groups (feedback nonfeedback). During program, group immediate, objective (1) mean concentric velocity resistance repetitions, (2) distance for standing broad...
