Resistance-training approach that uses movement velocity to guide and monitor loading
Velocity-based training uses real-time bar or limb velocity feedback to autoregulate load, set fatigue thresholds, or track readiness, on the premise that velocity loss within a set reflects accumulating neuromuscular fatigue. Set structures that better preserve velocity, such as cluster sets, are often favoured within VBT programming to keep reps within a target velocity band.
