The impact of test loads on the accuracy of 1RM prediction using the load-velocity relationship

Abstract Background Numerous methods have been proposed that use submaximal loads to predict one repetition maximum (1RM). One common method applies standard linear regression equations to load and average vertical lifting velocity (Vmean) data developed during squat jumps or three bench press throw...
