J Strength Cond Res 39(4): e516-e529, 2025-This study assessed the effects of percentage-based training (%1RM), rating of perceived exertion (RPE), repetitions in reserve (RIR), and velocity-based training (VBT) on (a) acute kinematic outputs, perceptions of effort, and changes in neuromuscular function during resistance training; and (b) neuromuscular fatigue and perceptions of soreness 24 hours after exercise. In a randomized crossover design, 15 subjects completed a %1RM, RPE, RIR, and VBT training condition involving a fatiguing protocol followed by 5 sets of the free-weight back squat and bench press at 70% of 1 repetition maximum. Subjects returned at 24 hours to assess neuromuscular fatigue and perceived soreness. Percentage-based training and RPE allowed the smallest volume loads, with %1RM prescription causing sets to be regularly taken to failure. Alternatively, RIR and VBT allowed greater maintenance of training volume. Velocity-based training had the most accurate training prescription, with all sets being within 5% of the intended starting velocity, while the RPE and %1RM prescriptive methods caused subjects to train with loads that were increasingly inaccurate. The RPE prescriptive method had the lowest reported values for differential RPE while the %1RM had the greatest change across the session. At no point were there between-group differences in measures of neuromuscular fatigue or perceived soreness. These findings demonstrate that autoregulatory prescriptive methods can be used to mitigate the risk of training to failure, ensure accurate training prescription that can maintain training volume, and enhance within-training kinematic outputs without altering neuromuscular fatigue or perceptions of soreness.</p>","PeriodicalId":17129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research","volume":" ","pages":"e516-e529"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142950504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twelve female volleyball athletes were monitored throughout a competitive season to track daily jump loads and measure neuromuscular fatigue based on twice-weekly countermovement jumps (CMJs) using a dual force plate. Jump loads were categorized into thirds (low, moderate, high-volume) to assess changes in neuromuscular fatigue, and a secondary evaluation examined differences in the ACWR. The results of this study were statistically significant with a p ≤ 0.05. The Wilks Lambda test in the multivariate analysis of variance found there were main effects for low, moderate, and high jump load groups ( F = 50.498, p < 0.001), weeks ( F = 3.136, p < 0.001), and significant group by week interactions ( F = 1.751, p < 0.001) for jump loads and CMJ test results. There was no main effect of week for ACWR ( F = 0.634, p = 0.849), and although statistically different, there were minimal changes in the ACWR between groups. There were significant variations in jump loads and CMJ performance between low, moderate, and high jump load groups across a 16-week season, most notably after week 5.

J Strength Cond Res 39(4): 474-491, 2025-Changes in local muscular endurance can be examined using absolute muscular endurance tests (e.g., performing as many repetitions as possible at pre- and postintervention against the same external load) and/or relative muscular endurance tests (e.g., using a load that scales to the individual's current level of maximal strength). This article discusses and elaborates on recommendations for assessing changes in local muscular endurance, with a focus on absolute and relative muscular endurance testing methods. We conducted a systematic search of the literature, which yielded 7,473 total articles. Of those, 51 studies met the inclusion criteria: 40 indicated use of either an absolute (n = 17) or relative muscular endurance (n = 20) test, 3 of which used both, and 11 did not clearly indicate whether an absolute or relative test was used. The literature examined suggests that absolute muscular endurance is much more likely to increase after resistance training compared with relative muscular endurance. Among the training protocols that had the most robust effects on relative muscular endurance were those that used lower loads and/or a higher number of repetitions per set, which might be a consequence of the protocols producing lower magnitudes of strength increases. Another notable observation was the lack of clarification as to how changes in local muscular endurance were studied. We urge future work to ensure that experimental designs are conducted and described with sufficient clarity (i.e., report whether an absolute or relative muscular endurance test was used, and control for/report the repetition cadence used during testing).</p>","PeriodicalId":17129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research","volume":"39 4","pages":"474-491"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143736029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a counterbalanced order, 39 resistance-trained male subjects performed 2 sessions against 6 loads (∼40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90% of 1RM) and 2 sessions against only 2 loads (∼40 and 90% of 1RM) followed by the actual 1RM attempts. The first session of each procedure was used for obtaining minimal velocity thresholds (MVTs) and the second session was used for 1RM estimation. Predicted 1RMs were calculated by entering 3 MVTs (i.e., actual MVT [i.e., the MVT associated with the actual 1RM], general MVT [i.e., 0.30 m·second -1 ], and optimal MVT [i.e., the MVT that minimizes the differences between the actual and predicted 1RMs]) into 3 load-velocity relationship (LVR) regression equations (multiple-point [i.e., using data of 6 loads from the multiple-point test], extracted 2-point [i.e., using data of the lightest and heaviest loads from the multiple-point test], and 2-point [i.e., using data of 2 loads from the 2-point test]). Alpha was set at 0.05. The main findings revealed that only the 1RMs predicted by the optimal MVT showed acceptable accuracy (raw errors ≤0.8 kg, absolute errors ≤4.0%) compared with the actual 1RM.

Estimation of whole-body bone mineral density through air displacement plethysmography in a large sample of elite athletes. J Strength Cond Res 39(4): 427-432, 2025-Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is used to determine bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition. Regulations and cost may limit DXA's utility in some athletic settings. Air displacement plethysmography (ADP), while able to measure body composition, does not measure BMD. The purpose was to evaluate the influence of body composition parameters obtained from ADP on BMD. Collegiate athletes (males, n = 153; females, n = 208) underwent ADP and DXA assessments. For ADP testing, the Brozek equation was used to estimate body fat percent (BF%) and fat-free mass (FFM) from body density. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry tests were completed to obtain BMD using the whole-body scan mode. Stepwise regression was conducted using age, body mass, height, sex, race, FFM (ADP), BF% (ADP), and sport type as independent variables. Total BMD (DXA) was the dependent variable. Accuracy and precision of the final equation were evaluated through Bland-Altman and linear regression. The final regression equation yielded an R2 of 0.691 with race, mass, BF%, age, and sport type as significant predictors ( p < 0.05) of BMD. Bland-Altman and linear regression showed systematic {95% confidence interval [CI] (-0.619 to -0.360)} and proportional bias (95% CI [0.173-0.374]). Although an ADP-derived regression equation may not provide a precise prediction of BMD, it may be useful to establish risk for low BMD if DXA is unavailable. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry may not be feasible for some athletic programs; therefore, an estimation equation for BMD derived from ADP values is advantageous for practitioners. This equation may assist in screening athletes for risk of low BMD.</p>","PeriodicalId":17129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research","volume":" ","pages":"427-432"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142729693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, to date, no research has investigated the relationships these kinetic variables have with real-world drive distance (DD) in elite DP World Tour golfers. The purpose of this investigation was to assess if CMJ positive impulse (PI), CMJ net impulse (NI), IMTP peak force (PF), force at 200 milliseconds, force at 250 milliseconds, and force at 300 milliseconds could predict the variance in elite DP World Tour golfers DD during a real-world tournament season. Twenty-five DP World Tour golfers performed CMJs and IMTPs on force plates in a real-world setting, with DD assessed using DP World Tour statistics. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used to assess if kinetic variables significantly predicted the variance in DP World Tour Golfers' DD. Statistical significance for this investigation was set at p ≤ 0.05 with effect size determined using the f2 statistic. The results of the investigation note that model 2 (CMJ PI and CMJ NI) was the best fit, significantly predicting (R2 = 0.279, p ≤ 0.05) the variance in DP World Tour Golfers' DD, which represented a large effect size (f2 = 0.39).
