Current Research and Applications of Velocity-Based Training Techniques and Technologies
Presentation Type
Keynote Speaker
Abstract
Velocity-based training is a technique within the fields of strength and conditioning and exercise physiology to measure barbell velocity to make informed decisions regarding the implementation of a resistance training program. While the term velocity-based training is well-known by professionals and researchers, the scientific literature and application of these principles into practice is still emerging. In this talk, Dr. Kyle Beyer will present the current velocity-based training techniques that are implemented by practitioners in the field. Additionally, the most common technologies used to measure barbell velocity will be discussed specifically focusing on their accuracy, cost, and feasibility of use. Furthermore, Dr. Beyer will present the current scientific literature that supports, or in some cases refutes, these practices. The gaps in the current literature will be discussed as well as future areas of application for velocity-based training including special populations and return-to-play guidelines.
