“…Skeletal muscle power (P) is the result of force and velocity (Reid & Fielding, 2011), and it plays a remarkable role in sport activities that require a great amount of force generated in a short amount of time. This component has often been considered a good predictor of success in jumping disciplines (Cronin & Sleivert, 2005), kickboxing (Nikolaidis, Fragkiadiakis, Papadopoulos, & Karydis, 2011), tennis (Baiget, Colomar, & Corbi, 2021), and many team sports, such as soccer and volleyball (Bangsbo, 1994;Giatsis, 2001;Künstlinger et al, 1987).…”

The assessment of force, velocity, and power is useful in order to develop an athlete’s sports performance and avoid any possible injuries. The aim of this study is to assess concurrent validity by using Polar Verity Sense with Motion X-Ray technology in order to measure velocity, force, and power in bench press exercises and compare them with the golden standard (i.e., Qualisys 3D kinematics). This pilot study focused on three male recreational lifters aged 28, with between five and ten years of experience, and a 1RM bench press of 100kg. The procedure lasted for two days. On the first day, 1 RM was assessed on a Smith machine. After seven days, the participants performed two sets of seven bench press repetitions with a 50kg bar on the same machine. The first set was a trial, and the second was analysed. The collected data was analysed using the Polar Verity sensor with Motion X-Ray technology, and 3D kinematic analysis with Qualysis. There were no significant statistical differences between these two systems (p < 0.05), while Pearson correlation showed a high and significant correlation between them (r > 0.692 < 0.999; p < 0.05). This research sets the basis of a new measurement process, which will be easier and more affordable. Future research could focus on bigger research samples, different types of exercise, and faster movements.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a six-week (16-17 training sessions) low velocity resistance training program (LV) on various performance measures as compared to a traditional strength (TS) and a traditional muscular endurance (TE) resistance training program. Thirty-four healthy adult females (21.1 +/- 2.7 y) were randomly divided into 4 groups: control (C), TS, TE, and LV. Workouts consisted of 3 exercises: leg press (LP), back squat (SQ), and knee extension (KE). Each subject was pre- and posttested for 1 repetition maximum (1RM), muscular endurance, maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), muscular power, and body composition. After the pretesting, TS, TE, and LV groups attended a minimum of 16 out of 17 training sessions in which the LP, SQ, and KE were performed to fatigue for each of 3 sets. For each training session, TS trained at 6-10 RM and TE trained at 20-30 RM both with 1-2 second concentric/1-2 second eccentric; and LV trained at 6-10 RM, with 10 second concentric/4 s eccentric. Statistical significance was determined at an alpha level of 0.05. LV increased relative LP and KE 1 RM, but the percent increase was smaller than TS, and not different from C in the SQ. For muscular endurance, LV improved similarly to TE for LP and less than TS and TE for KE. Body composition improved for all groups including C (significant main effect). In conclusion, muscular strength improved with LV training however, TS showed a larger improvement. Muscular endurance improved with LV training, but not above what TE or TS demonstrated. For all other variables, there were no significant improvements for LV beyond what C demonstrated.
