This infographic summarizes a study that analyzed performance based on target velocity or coaching cue.

This infographic highlights the use of an individualized load-velocity method to prescribe sled-push loads in young athletes.

Examine different measures of velocity that can be used in resistance training and understand how each measure may be more applicable to either strength or power exercises. In this session from the NSCA’s 2016 National Conference, Daniel Baker, President of the Australia Strength and Conditioning Association, explains how to use velocity data to monitor changes in strength or power, and how to use velocity scores for readiness/performance monitoring.

This info-graphic describes research on velocity decrements to increase propulsive and horizontal force applications to increase acceleration kinetics.

This study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research compared the muscle activation level of the gluteus maximus, biceps femoris, and erector spinae in the hip thrust, barbell deadlift, and hex bar deadlift; each of which are compound resisted hip-extension exercises.

Velocity Based Training in Professional Baseball

Velocity-based training (VBT) has been generating a lot of buzz lately. In this session from the NSCA’s 2017 TSAC Annual Training, Dr. Bryan Mann explains how and why VBT works, how different devices work, and how to account for them in training.

This excerpt from NSCA’s Essentials of Sport Science describes strength as a velocity-dependent concept.
