High-velocity resistance training increases maximal movement velocity in humans (+10.6% vs. -1.0%).
“velocity-deficient individuals had lower baseline power but experienced the greatest V0 gains (+ 10.6% vs. -1.0%, p = 0.002).”
Human trialVelocity-deficient subgroup defined by baseline V0 tertiles2 days/week, 40-60% 1-RM12 weeks

High-velocity resistance training has no effect on maximal movement velocity in humans.
“while maximal movement velocity (V0) remained unchanged at the group level.”

High-velocity resistance training increases maximal power in humans.
“HVRT significantly increased the theoretical maximal force (F0), maximal power (Pmax), and the F-V slope (all p < 0.001)”
