Estimation of Relative Load From Bar Velocity in the Full Back Squat ExerciseSports Med Int Open 2017; 01(02): E80-E88

Abstract

The studies by Sanchez-Medina et al. (Sports Medicine International Open, 1(02), E80-E88. 2017) and Gonzalez-Badillo and Sanchez-Medina (Int J Sports Med, 31, 347–52. 2010) attempted to provide a good estimation of relative load from movement velocity measured in bench press and full squat. However, both aforementioned studies contain methodological issues concerning the predicted equations used to address load-velocity relationship that coaches should be aware of.

Key words

load-velocity relationship - %1 RM - longitudinal regression analysis
