Background Velocity loss (VL) experienced in a set during resistance training is often
monitored to control training volume and quantify acute fatigue responses. Accordingly …

We compared the effects of two resistance training (RT) programs only differing in the
repetition velocity loss allowed in each set: 20%(VL 20) vs 40%(VL 40) on muscle structural …

Neuromuscular fatigue occurs when an individual's capacity to produce force or power is
impaired. Repeated sprint exercise requires an individual to physically exert themselves at …

Introduction: The study of tennis players allows the nonracket arm to act as an internal
control for the exercising racket arm. In addition, the study of the upper limbs removes the …

To elucidate the mechanisms underlying the differences in adaptation of arm and leg
muscles to sprint training, over a period of 11 days 16 untrained men performed six sessions …

Objective The main aim of this study was to establish the relationship between strength,
power characteristics, individual muscle stiffness, international tennis number (ITN), and …

Purpose: Repeated-sprint training in hypoxia (RSH) was recently shown to improve
repeated-sprint ability (RSA) in cycling. This phenomenon is likely to reflect fiber type …

Purpose: To compare the effect of 4 velocity-loss (VL) thresholds—0%(VL0), 15%(VL15),
25%(VL25), and 50%(VL50)—on strength gains, neuromuscular adaptations, and muscle …

There are several methods used in sports science to identify asymmetries in athletes, given
their purported relevance to injury prevention and performance optimization. We aimed to …
