Factors Related To Average Concentric Velocity Of Four Barbell Exercises At Various Loads, Christopher A. Fahs, Julia C. Blumkaitis, Lindy M. Rossow
Faculty Scholarship
The resistance exercise load is the primarily determinant of the average concentric velocity (ACV) during a repetition. It is unknown whether individual factors such as training experience or anthropometrics also influence the ACV. Previous research has shown the ACV during the 1 repetition maximum (1RM) varies between exercises, but it is not clear whether ACV is different between exercises at various percentages of the 1RM. This information could provide practical guidelines for trainees using ACV to select training loads. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine whether training age, current training frequency, limb length, height, and relative strength …
