The Utility of Angular Velocity During Back Squat to Predict 1RM and Load–Velocity Profiling
SensorsLinear velocity is commonly used to estimate 1-repetition maximum (1RM) from a load–velocity profile (LVP), as well as prescribe training intensity. However, no study has assessed angular velocity, which may be more representative of joint motion.
