Unilateral and bilateral load-velocity relationships in athletes: evidence from a study in boxers
This study validated the use of velocity-based resistance training (VBT) to optimize strength training in boxing. Both unilateral and bilateral exercises showed consistent L-V relationships, supporting individualized load prescription. Bilateral exercises enhanced velocity output, while unilateral exercises helped correct inter-limb strength asymmetries and improve sport-specific stability.
