Advancing Strength Training: A Review of Velocity-Based Training for Performance Optimisation

Abstract

Velocity-based training (VBT) has been introduced as a data-driven approach to resistance training, providing a precise and adaptable method for monitoring and optimising athletic performance. Unlike conventional percentage-based training, VBT leverages movement velocity to estimate daily readiness, prescribe individualised loads, and manage fatigue accumulations. This review explores two key aspects of VBT: (1) the development of personalized velocity-load profiles (VLP) and their role in estimating one-repetition maximum (1RM), and (2) the implementation of percentage velocity loss thresholds (VLT) to regulate training volume and adaptation. While VBT presents advantages in some respects over traditional regimes, challenges remain in its practical application, including variability in load-velocity relationships, biomechanical constraints, and technological limitations. Future research should focus on refining measurement techniques and integrating VBT with traditional periodization models to maximize its effectiveness in strength and conditioning programs.
