Loturco, I, Suchomel, T, Kobal, R, Arruda, AFS, Guerriero, A, Pereira, LA, and Pai, CN. Force-velocity relationship in three different variations of prone row exercises. J Strength Cond Res 35(2): 300–309, 2021—This study examined the force-velocity tested possibility determining relative loading intensity percentage 1 repetition maximum (%1RM) 3 Thirty male top-level athletes from 2 sports (National Team rugby union players professional mixed martial arts fighters) were submitted to dynamic strength assessments free bench pull, bent-over barbell row, Smith machine after standard procedures encompassing lifts performed 40 100% 1RM. The mean velocity, propulsive peak velocity measured all attempts. Linear regression analyses establish relationships between measures bar velocities %1RM. actual (obtained during assessments) predicted 1RM values (based on predictive equations) for each exercise compared using a paired t-test. In exercises, scores—based variables—were not their respective values. close linear distinct %1RM (coefficient determination ≥80%, experimental conditions) allow precise load strength, enable coaches scientists use outputs rapidly accurately monitor daily basis.
