Training at Different Velocity Zones: Does It Really Matter?

The primary objective of any resistance-training program is to increase force application against a given absolute load. Consistent with the near-perfect load-velocity relationship, this positive effect will undoubtedly enhance force production at both portions of the force-velocity spectrum (light-load/high-velocity and heavy-load/low-velocity portions). The rationale and logic supporting this argument are extensively detailed and discussed throughout this article.
