Clinical Trial: Feasibility of Velocity Loss-Based Volume Prescription During Constant-Load and Chain-Based Smith Machine Back Squats

U.S., July 23 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07719010) titled 'Feasibility of Velocity Loss-Based Volume Prescription During Constant-Load and Chain-Based Smith Machine Back Squats' on July 15.

Brief Summary: The goal of this observational study was to evaluate the feasibility of percentage of velocity loss (%VL)-based approaches for prescribing training volume during constant-load and chain-based Smith machine back squats. The study aimed to answer whether %VL can be expressed as the maximum number of repetitions (%Rep) in constant-load and chain-based Smith machine squats. Twenty-six resistance-trained men performed repetitions-to-failure tests under variable (VRT) and constant resistance tra...
