TL;DR: The high correlations found between mechanical (velocity and countermovement jump height losses) and metabolic (lactate, ammonia) measures of fatigue support the validity of using velocity loss to objectively quantify neuromuscular fatigue during resistance training.

TL;DR: An inextricable relationship between relative load and MPV in the BP that makes it possible to evaluate maximal strength without the need to perform a 1RM test, or test of maximum number of repetitions to failure (XRM); determine the %1RM that is being used as soon as the first repetition with any given load is performed.

TL;DR: This study analyzed the contribution of the propulsive and braking phases among different percentages of the one-repetition maximum (1RM) in the concentric bench press exercise and determined the relative load that maximized the mechanical power output (P(max).

TL;DR: The progressive accumulation of muscle fatigue as indicated by a more pronounced repetition velocity loss appears as an important variable in the configuration of the resistance exercise stimulus as it influences functional and structural neuromuscular adaptations.

TL;DR: The differing velocity- and power-load relationships between PBP and BP seem attributable to the distinct muscle architecture and moment arm levers involved in these exercises.
