Article Synopsis
- This study investigated how the load-velocity relationship variables change after different levels of fatigue induced by hexagonal barbell deadlift exercises in male resistance-trained individuals.
- In three sessions, participants underwent either control (no training), moderate fatigue (5 sets at 70% 1RM), or high fatigue (5 sets to failure at 70% 1RM) protocols, with pre- and post-session load-velocity tests to measure changes.
- Results showed that both 1 repetition maximum (1RM) and velocity variables were significantly reduced more in the high-fatigue condition, indicating that load-velocity relationship variables can effectively monitor fatigue levels during resistance training.
Purpose: Our study explores the multifaceted factors influencing serve speed in volleyball, including player position, match progression, and league level, providing actionable insights for performance optimization and injury prevention strategies.
Methods: Using a cross-sectional approach, the study analyzes 15.347 serves from various leagues.
This research examines the reliability, validity, and usefulness of the Jump Power application by comparing it with the reliable and validated Optojump photoelectric cell system in measuring squat jump (SJ) and countermovement jump (CMJ) in professional athletes. Twenty-two soccer players volunteered to participate in the research. The participants were the players of the U21 team in the 1st League.

Fourteen male sports science students (free-weight back squat one-repetition maximum [1RM]: 132.5 ± 28.

The 1RMs of 27 resistance-trained males were predicted using three types of MVT: (i) averaged across subjects' velocity of the 1RM trial (0.25 m·s), (ii) velocity attained during the 1RM trial, and (iii) MVT that eliminated the differences between the actual and predicted 1RM.
