What does the use of percentage-based training loads fail to account for?

Resistance training experience

Changes in strength levels

Specific exercises in the program

What is the estimation of reps in reserve dependent on?

Athlete sport

Maximum strength

Training experience

What does an increase in velocity produced against a given %1RM indicate?

Increase in maximal strength

Decrease in impulse generated

Increase in accumulated fatigue

What is characteristic of load-velocity profiles?

They are not athlete-specific

They are exercise-specific

They are athlete-specific but not exercise-specific

What has most of the research on the use of load-velocity profile to predict 1RM in free-weight exercises focused on?

Lower-body exercises

Upper-body exercises

Both lower- and upper-body exercises

How does the 1RM derived from using a load-velocity profile compare to measuring 1RM directly?

Underestimates 1RM

Overestimates 1RM

Equivocal results on 1RM

What is the typical 1RM change in external load that results when the measured velocity of an exercise deviates by more than ±0.06 meters per second?

±5%

±2.5%

±1%

What is recommended as the optimal time to use load-velocity profiles to adjust training loads?

Off-season

Post-season

In-season

What is an overlooked limitation of using a load-velocity profile to adjust training loads during a peaking block?

The time needed to calculate the profile

The increased risk of injury to the athlete

The decrease motivation of the athlete

What velocity decline is most appropriate during training periods when less overall volume is performed

50 – 60%

30 – 40%

10 – 20%
