Comparison of Velocity and Percentage-based Training on Maximal Strength: Meta-analysis
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1790-8546The purpose was to analyze the comparison of velocity-based resistance training
and one-repetition maximum (%1RM) percentage-based training in maximal
strength improvement by meta-analyzing and to find the reasons for the
controversial findings of different studies. Ten studies were included in the
systematic review and seven were subjected to meta-analysis. A total of 139
subjects were selected from the included articles after exclusion, including
athletes of different specialties (N=93) and non-athletes mainly from
fitness groups (N=46). The overall effect size was SMD=0.26
(95%CL 0.03 to 0.49, P=0.03, I²=0). As for the
comparison of the analysis of different intervention objects as subgroups, the
effect size of athletes as the subgroup was 0.35 (95%CI 0.06 to 0.64,
p=0.02, I²=0), indicating that in the RCT with athletes
as the intervention target, the effect of VBRT in improving the maximal strength
was significantly different from that of PBT. Velocity-based resistance training
might be more effective than percentage-based training in maximal strength
improvement, in which velocity-based resistance training is more suitable for
athletes in season, while percentage-based training is more suitable for the
general sports population. More high-quality researches shou...
