A critical appraisal of systematic reviews assessing the effect of chronic velocity-based resistance training on health and athletic performance outcomes: A systematic review
Systematic reviews of VB-RT studies often have serious limitations. Authors can improve confidence in the results of future reviews by involving methodologists and statisticians and using a rigorous and transparent system to evaluate the certainty of the evidence. Reviewers should also adhere to the latest standards of conduct and reporting, fostering a more cohesive, precise, and reliable understanding of the VB-RT role in performance and health outcomes.
