Velocity-Based Training: A contemporary method of resistance training

Velocity-based training (VBT) can help all people who participate in resistance training (RT) programs to improve/maintain health and physical fitness levels. VBT is a RT intervention that uses velocity feedback to prescribe and/or manipulate training load. Two new variables are adopted for prescribing the training load in VBT, one is the initial fastest repetition velocity in sets to set the load instead of %۱RM, the other is the velocity loss threshold (VL) to terminate the set instead of the traditional fixed repetitions. VBT sessions relatively have lower volume and lower post-exercise fatigue and this reason may encourage people to use it as a training method. Also, VBT devices help coaches to predict optimal load and volume before each training session; so modified training variables resulting in a better adaptation. On the other hand, VBT devices are expensive and the dose-response relationship between velocity loss and neuromuscular adaptation is still not clear.
