Their reasoning being that the “velocity-based training” [VBT] helps to improve muscle fatigue. According to the researchers at the University of Lincoln, weightlifters can enhance their performance by a range of measurement that vary as per amount of weight they lift during their training and exercise sessions, respectively.

They stress that for athletes, these types of exercises are extremely vital, especially for those who rely primarily on muscle strength. The researchers studies sixteen men between the ages of eighteen and twenty-nine years with at least two years of experience in weightlifting. They then categorized the participants into two groups. The first group used PBT [performance-based training] and was finished in six weeks while the other group trained with VBT [velocity-based training]. It thereby helped … Continue reading Weightlifting and Muscle Strength: What is the connection?
