Effects of Velocity-Based and Traditional Resistance Training on Performance in Trained Male Football Players
Sponsor: Sinop University
Summary
This study compared the effects of velocity-based resistance training (VBRT) and traditional resistance training (TRT) on physical performance, anaerobic capacity, and perceptual responses in trained male football players. Sixteen participants were randomly assigned to either a VBRT group or a TRT group and completed an 8-week resistance training program. The study aimed to determine whether VBRT provides greater improvements in explosive performance, anaerobic power, balance, football-specific performance, and fatigue-related perceptions compared with traditional percentage-based resistance training.

Interventions
Velocity-Based Resistance Training
Participants completed an 8-week velocity-based resistance training program performed twice weekly. Training consisted of deep squat, half squat, and bench press exercises. Training loads were prescribed using individualized load-velocity profiles and adjusted according to target movement velocities and a 20% velocity-loss threshold.
Traditional Resistance Training
Participants completed an 8-week traditional percentage-based resistance training program performed twice weekly. Training consisted of deep squat, half squat, and bench press exercises. Training loads were prescribed using fixed percentages of baseline one-repetition maximum values.
