Force-Velocity Profiling: A Reliability Study
20 April 2021
The purpose of this study is to examine the use of a novel single leg press machine in terms of its reliability to profile an individual’s load-velocity relationship. One proposed advantage of such a machine is the potential to directly measure the velocity of the leg press movement at higher velocities due to the light mass of the leg press plate in relation to other leg press modalities.
