The relationship between exercise intensity and movement velocity can be described as 

Moderate and exponential

Almost perfect and linear

Weak but linear

Which of the following velocity variables provides an instantaneous measure of velocity during the concentric phase?

Peak velocity (PV)

Mean velocity (MV)

Mean propulsive velocity (MPV)

When monitoring ballistic exercises, which velocity measure is recommended?

Peak velocity (PV)

Mean velocity (MV)

Mean propulsive velocity (MPV)

When using velocity measures during training of non-ballistic exercises, which measure is most reliable?

Peak velocity (PV)

Mean velocity (MV)

Mean propulsive velocity (MPV)

Which of the following statements is true about velocity-based one-repetition maximum (1RM) prediction methods in lower body exercises?

The 2-point method at approximately 45% and 85% of 1RM is the most accu-rate method

A 5-load individual linear regression model is the most accurate and reliable method

Currently research does not support accurate velocity-based prediction of 1RM in lower body exercises

Changes in velocity measures that are greater than the smallest detectable differences are most likely caused by what?

Acute fatigue or strength adaptation

Statistical noise

Measurement variability from the velocity measurement device

When an athlete demonstrates a change in velocity value above or below what the coach expects, it is recommended that the coach _______________ to determine if this is meaningful change or normal variation.

determine if the value is within 3 standard deviations

retest the 1RM and recalculate the velocity percentage

utilize a typical error range

Research has recently shown that velocity losses are related to

 

Losses in neuromuscular function

Increases in dehydration

Acute gains in strength

Velocity at a given percentage of 1RM may vary due to fatigue or following training focused on which quality?

Hypertrophy

Strength

Power

Changes in strength characteristics during training programs creates an issue for 1RM percentage-based prescription because 

1RM testing is not feasible for every exercise

The strength adaptation may not be monitored concurrently with velocity pre-scription

The relative load that is prescribed may not be relative to the athlete’s current strength level
