Influence of Different Loads on Force-Time Characteristics during Back Squats

Best practice for strength testing has been retrieved from the specific scientific literature to help strength training coaches in determining the force-velocity curve in a reliable manner (Table 1).

Implications: A list of good practice rules is provided for helping strength training coaches in determining the force-velocity curve in a reliable manner.

Good Practice Rules for the Assessment of the Force-Velocity Relationship in Isoinertial Resistance Exercises

When the loading frequencies are 0.2 Hz, 0.5 Hz, and 1 Hz, the peak damping forces of the MR damper are 10.54 kN, 10.92 kN, and 11.53 kN, respectively, and the hysteresis loop of the force-velocity curve is greatly affected.

As seen from Figures 5, 6, and 7, although the damping force-velocity curve of the model calculation cannot describe the hysteresis loop, the trends of the damping force-velocity curve and damping force-displacement curve of the model calculation and the experimental results are approximately the same.

These principles suggest that the eccentric actions are more specific, provide greater load via the force-velocity curve and generally provide a more effective resistance training programme.

Graphically, this can be illustrated on a force-velocity curve as the rapid and efficient transition from eccentric to concentric muscle action.

Indeed, the classic force-velocity curve for isolated muscle seems to be applicable in throwing tasks with different loads, suggesting that some strength training programs can also be applied in these throwing tasks.
