“…Overall, the strength of individual F-V relationships proved not only to be exceptionally high, but also comparable (Cuk et al, 2014; Garcia-Ramos et al, 2016; Jaskolska et al, 1999; Yamauchi et al, 2009), if not stronger than the same relationships observed in previous studies (Allison et al, 2013; Feeney et al, 2016; Rabita et al, 2015). In line with our recent studies (Cuk et al, 2014; Sreckovic et al, 2015), none of the data sets revealed significant differences between the linear and parabolic fit.…”

“…The corresponding values for lower limbs (708 W) is also lower than other reported data (1211 W (Nikolaidis, 2006), 1180 W in students (Jaskolska et al, 1999); 1114 W in 44 yr; 1029 W in physical education students (Adach et al, 1999); 1090 W in young endurance athletes (Chamari et al, 1995), 813 W in subjects with recreational activities (Vandewalle et al, 1985); 879 W in untrained students (Linossier et al, 1996)). The measured with the F-v test rPmax for upper limbs is 4.7 W·kg −1 , while other studies reveal higher values (10.7 W·kg −1 (Nikolaidis, 2006); 10.7 W·kg −1 in 44 year-olds and 12.3 W·kg −1 in physical education students (Adach et al, 1999); 10.7 W·kg −1 in swimmers (Mercier et al, 1993)).…”

While there is a direct relationship between maximal anaerobic power (Pmax) and swimming performance, the relationship between upper and lower limbs with regard to Pmax and force-velocity (F-v) characteristics is not clear. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of age and sex on the ratios of mechanical characteristics between upper and lower extremities of adolescent swimmers. Seventeen girls (aged 14.7±1.8 yr) (mean±standard deviation) and 28 boys (14.6±1.4 yr), all members of competitive swimming clubs, performed a F-v test for both legs and arms. In legs, boys had higher values of Pmax (t43=2.4, p<0.05), Pmax expressed in relative to body mass values (rPmax, t43=3.4, p<0.01) and v0 (t43=4.3, p<0.001), while no differences were found for F0 (t43=1.0, p=0.31) and v0/F0 (t43=0.55, p=0.59). In arms, boys had higher values of Pmax (t43=3.2, p<0.01), rPmax (t43=3.9, p<0.001) and v0 (t43=3.4, p<0.01), while no differences were found for F0 (t43=1.9, p=0.06) and v0/F0 (t43=0.16, p=0.87). However, no sex difference was found with regard to the ratios of Pmax (t43=1.9, p=0.06), F0 (t43=1.2, p=0.23) and v0 (t43=1.3, p=0.20) between upper and lower extremities. There was direct relationship between age and Pmax of legs (r=0.64, p<0.01 in girls; r=0.43, p<0.05 in boys) and arms (r=0.56, p<0.05; r=0.57, p<0.01 respectively), while there was not any significant association between age and the ratios of mechanical characteristics of upper and lower limbs. These findings emphasize the need for separate evaluation of arms’ and legs’ force-velocity characteristics on a regular basis and the consideration of these measures in training design.

“…However, a number of studies have suggested that a better fit of F-V relationship of various maximum performance multi-joint movements could be a liner one, at least within moderate ranges of F (typically manipulated by varying external loads) and corresponding V . Such results have been obtained from maximum effort squats and vertical jumps [(Vandewalle et al 1987; Rahmani et al 2001; Sheppard et al 2008); see also further text for details], cycling (Driss et al 2002; Driss and Vandewalle 2013; Nikolaidis 2012), simultaneous leg extensions against various dynamometers and sledge devices (Yamauchi et al 2009; Samozino et al 2012, 2014), running (Jaskolska et al 1999; Morin et al 2010), or arms and upper body movements (Hintzy et al 2003; Nikolaidis 2012). Note that F here corresponds to externally measured force, while V is the velocity of the moved center of mass (i.e., body mass and/or external mass).…”

Force–velocity relationship of leg extensors obtained from loaded and unloaded vertical jumps

Purpose Resent research has suggested that loaded multi-joint movements could reveal a linear force-velocity (F-V) relationship. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the F-V relationship both across different types of vertical jumps and across different F and V variables. Methods Ten healthy subjects performed maximum various vertical jumps that were either loaded or unloaded by constant external forces of up to 30% of their body weight. Both the maximum and averaged F and V data were recorded. Results The observed F-V relationships proved to be strong (median correlation coefficients ranged .78-.93) and quasi-linear. Their F- and V-intercepts and the calculated maximum power (P) were highly reliable (.85
