Velocity based training

Question 1

Velocity based training

Answer 1

uses a device (transducer, accelerometer etc..) to measure velocity during the concentric portion of a dynamic lift. Load vs. velocity curve. Velocity is not as variable.

Question 2

Load-velocity profile

Answer 2

mean concentric velocity to % of 1-RM . Can be used with reps to stay within range and autoregulate loads

Question 3

Advantages of velocity training

Answer 3

neural adaptation, constant feedback, avoids overtraining. Good for power and strength - neural goals. Less DOMs

Question 4

Disadvantages of velocity training

Answer 4

Labor intensive and prescribe metabolic goals/ results in multiple changes

Question 5

Mean concentric velocity

Answer 5

average speed of concentric phase

Question 6

Cut-off velocity

Answer 6

where you cut off the set - squat 30%/bench 35%

Question 7

Minimal velocity threshold

Answer 7

MVTs are the average concentric velocity produced during the last successful repetition

Question 8

Uses of velocity

Answer 8

multi joint exercises
