Analysis of Wearable and Smartphone-Based Technologies for the Measurement of Barbell Velocity in Different Resistance Training Exercises.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the validity, reliability, and accuracy of new wearable and smartphone-based technology for the measurement of barbell velocity in resistance training exercises. To do this, 10 highly trained powerlifters (age = 26.1 ± 3.

Load-, Force-, and Power-Velocity Relationships in the Prone Pull-Up Exercise.

Purpose: To analyze the load-, force-, and power-velocity relationships and determine the load that optimizes power output on the pull-up exercise.

Methods: Eighty-two resistance-trained men (age 26.8 ± 5.

Validity and reliability of a novel iPhone app for the measurement of barbell velocity and 1RM on the bench-press exercise.

The purpose of this study was to analyse the validity and reliability of a novel iPhone app (named: PowerLift) for the measurement of mean velocity on the bench-press exercise. Additionally, the accuracy of the estimation of the 1-Repetition maximum (1RM) using the load-velocity relationship was tested. To do this, 10 powerlifters (Mean (SD): age = 26.
