Velocity Loss During Resistance Training: Implications for Concurrent Training Adaptations.

Scandinavian journal of medicine & science in sports·March 1, 2026·PMID 41855389

Why it matters

Balancing strength and endurance adaptations in concurrent training is a persistent challenge for athletes and coaches. This study provides direct evidence that manipulating intra-set fatigue via velocity loss thresholds can shift the trade-off between hypertrophy/strength and aerobic gains, offering a practical tool for programming.
