Study of 15% Versus 30% Velocity Loss Thresholds During Bodyweight Squats and Their Effects on Strength and Endurance in Young Women
Sponsor: University of Health Sciences Lahore
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how two different velocity loss thresholds (15% and 30%) during bodyweight squats affect strength and endurance in non-athletic young women aged 18-25 years. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does a lower velocity loss threshold (15%) during bodyweight squats improve lower-limb strength? Does a higher velocity loss threshold (30%) during bodyweight squats improve muscular endurance? Researchers will compare the two groups (15% vs. 30% velocity loss) to see if one approach works better for strength and endurance. Participants will: Perform bodyweight squats three times per week for six weeks. Be randomly assigned to either the 15% or 30% velocity loss group. Complete strength and endurance tests before and after the program

Interventions
Body-weight squat training (15% velocity loss threshold)
Participants will perform supervised body-weight squat training using an intra-set velocity loss threshold of 15%. Velocity loss will be monitored using standardized metronome cadence as a proxy for movement velocity. Training frequency, volume, and progression will be consistent across groups except for the velocity loss threshold.
Body-weight squat training (30% velocity loss threshold)
Participants will perform supervised body-weight squat training using an intra-set velocity loss threshold of 30%. Velocity loss will be monitored using standardized metronome cadence as a proxy for movement velocity. Training frequency, volume, and progression will be consistent across groups except for the velocity loss threshold.
