“…***INSERT FIGURE 2 NEAR HERE*** Interestingly, research has shown that the final repetition during sets of bench press and squats performed to failure is associated with a specific velocity, which is the same across various intensities (60%, 65%, 70% and 75% of 1RM) for a specific exercise [46]. In addition, this velocity (i.e.…”

“…In addition, this velocity (i.e. the minimal velocity threshold) has been shown to be very stable across time, even when maximum strength is improved and in individuals with varying levels of absolute strength [46]. If an individual athlete's minimum velocity threshold is known, it may also be used to assess the degree of residual neuromuscular fatigue and estimate the athlete's readiness to train.…”

Key Points• To quantify resistance exercise, it is important to understand the numerous factors contributing to the overall intensity of training, rather than simply the relative load being lifted.• Methods to monitor the external volume load, perceptual training intensity, subjective wellness, and physical performance during resistance exercise all appear useful methods for monitoring resistance training.• Strength coaches should identify which monitoring tools are applicable and viable for their athletes, and should take an integrative approach to resistance training monitoring to help inform their practice.3 AbstractResistance exercise is difficult to quantify due to its inherent complexity with numerous training variables contributing to the training dose (type of exercise, load lifted, training volume, inter-set rest periods and repetition velocity). In addition, the intensity of resistance training is often inadequately determined as the relative load lifted (% 1-repetition maximum), which does not account for the effects of inter-set recovery periods, repetition velocity, or the number of repetitions performed in each set at a given load. Methods to calculate the volume load associated with resistance training, as well as the perceived intensity of individual sets and entire training sessions have been shown to provide useful information regarding the actual training stimulus. In addition, questionnaires to subjectively assess how athletes are coping with the stressors of training and portable technologies to quantify performance variables such as concentric velocity may also be valuable. However, while several methods have been proposed to quantify resistance training, there is not yet consensus regarding how these methods can be best implemented and integrated to complement each other. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to provide practical information for strength coaches to highlight effective methods to assess resistance training, and how they can be integrated into a comprehensive monitoring program.4

“…For both exercises, one repetition comprehends the movement performed at initial position to final position (eccentric phase) and return to initial position (concentric phase). Velocity control of movements of the volunteers was performed with a metronomer with emission of sound signals in the 1 Hz frequency, and the participants had to perform the concentric and eccentric phases with duration of two seconds each 23 . The volunteers were told not to practice any kind of physical exercise in the 48 hours prior to the tests 24 , which were performed with the same equipment used in the subsequent strength training.…”

Introduction: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, have been used by athletes of several sports modalities in order to increase athletic performance. Objective: To verify the effect of the prophylactic use of ibuprofen on performance in a strength training session. Methods: A crossover, randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled clinical trial was developed with twelve regular strength training male practitioners, which performed a strength training session after ibuprofen (1,2 g) ingestion and another session after placebo ingestion. Six series of bench press and squat exercises were performed in each training session with a constant load corresponding to 65% of the 1RM in each exercise. The training performance was measured through the number of repetitions that volunteers have accomplished in each exercise series of each strength training session. Results: It was verified no significant performance differences in strength training with previous administration of placebo or ibuprofen (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Ibuprofen administration at the same parameters adopted by the present study do not promote any change on tolerance to exercise in a single strength training session, which contraries this substance indication to ergogenic purposes in strength training.

“…According to Stone et al 12 maximum strength is related to power production and that increases in maximum strength may lead to an increased in power production. One possible explanation may be due to the increase of maximum strength at a given absolute load that may represent a relative load (% RM) lower, so that as the work of Gonzalez-Badillo et al 1 this lower percentage can be shifted at a higher speed, with a subsequent increase in power for this load.…”

Introduction: One of the main problems faced by strength and conditioning coaches is the issue of how to objectively quantify and monitor the actual training load undertaken by athletes in order to maximize performance. It is well known that performance of explosive sports activities is largely determined by mechanical power. Objective: This study analysed the height at which maximal power output is generated and the corresponding load with which is achieved in a group of male-trained track and field athletes in the test of countermovement jump (CMJ) with extra loads (CMJ EL ). Methods: Fifty national level male athletes in sprinting and jumping performed a CMJ test with increasing loads up to a height of 16 cm. The relative load that maximized the mechanical power output (P max ) was determined using a force platform and lineal encoder synchronization and estimating the power by peak power, average power and flight time in CMJ. Results: The load at which the power output no longer existed was at a height of 19.9 ± 2.35, referring to a 99.1 ± 1% of the maximum power output. The load that maximizes power output in all cases has been the load with which an athlete jump a height of approximately 20 cm. Conclusion: These results highlight the importance of considering the height achieved in CMJ with extra load instead of power because maximum power is always attained with the same height. We advise for the preferential use of the height achieved in CMJ EL test, since it seems to be a valid indicative of an individual' s actual neuromuscular potential providing a valid information for coaches and trainers when assessing the performance status of our athletes and to quantify and monitor training loads, measuring only the height of the jump in the exercise of CMJ EL .
