Sponsor's own description
Adaptations to resistance training are highly specific and depend on the combination of external loading and the level of individual adaptability. As the relationship between load and velocity of movement is strong and linear, the application of velocity-based training (VBT) has been proposed to enable load adjustments to ensure that exercise is performed at a given intensity independently of several factors such as fatigue. It was recently shown that VBT potentiates increases in muscle strength and power when compared to that seen following a percent-based training (PBT). As the development of muscle strength is explained by the combination of hypertrophy and heightened neural drive, it is important to unravel whether VBT is superior to PBT in eliciting positive adaptations at both these levels or exclusively at one of them. Thus, the aim of this study is to thoroughly compare the neuromuscular adaptations of VBT with the ones found in PBT.
