Can the velocity profile in the bench press and the bench pull sufficiently estimate the one repetition maximum in youth elite cross-country ski and biathlon athletes?
Considering the observed measurement error associated with LVP-based methods, it can be posited that their utility as a programming strategy is limited. The lack of accuracy required to discriminate between small but significant changes in performance and error, coupled with the potential risks of under- and overestimating 1RM, can result in insufficient stimulus or increased injury risk, respectively. This further diminishes the practicality of these methods, particularly in elite sports settings.
