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

Abstract Background and Objective This systematic review with meta-analysis investigated
the influence of resistance training proximity-to-failure on muscle hypertrophy. Methods …

Hypertrophy can be operationally defined as an increase in the axial cross-sectional area of
a muscle fiber or whole muscle, and is due to increases in the size of pre-existing muscle …

For more than a century, many concepts and several theories and principles pertaining to
the goals, organization, methodology and evaluation of the effects of resistance training (RT) …

While proximity-to-failure is considered an important resistance training (RT) prescription
variable, its influence on physiological adaptations and short-term responses to RT is …

Background Autoregulation has emerged as a potentially beneficial resistance training
paradigm to individualize and optimize programming; however, compared to standardized …

Hernández-Belmonte, A, Courel-Ibáñez, J, Conesa-Ros, E, Martínez-Cava, A, and Pallarés,
JG. Level of effort: A reliable and practical alternative to the velocity-based approach for …

This study aimed to compare the effects of three resistance training (RT) programs differing
in the magnitude of velocity loss (VL) allowed in each exercise set: 10%, 30%, or 45% on …

Background The proximity to failure in which sets are terminated has gained attention in the
scientific literature as a potentially key resistance training variable. Multiple meta-analyses …

While velocity-based training is currently a very popular paradigm to designing and
monitoring resistance training programs, its implementation remains a challenge in team …
