“If we could measure the maximum velocity of the movements every day while gathering immediate information, that would possibly be the best way to determine whether or not the weight is appropriate. A given reduction in the velocity is a valid indicator that training should be suspended or the weight on the bar reduced. We could also record the maximum velocity achieved by each weightlifter with each percentage, and on the basis of that, evaluate the effort: a much lower velocity than that achieved on other occasions with the same percentage would indicate that the weightlifter is working above the planned effort or, on the contrary, if the velocity is greater, he is possibly above his best performance and, therefore, the effort is less than that programmed.”
(González Badillo, 1991)
The above quote demonstrates how, by the 1970s-80s, we already perceived that the answer to the central element of the problem of training –the dosing, control and evaluation of training, and the daily assessment of physical fitness– could be found in monitoring movement velocity.
At that time, it was not possible to obtain a practical measure of velocity, so we had to settle for appreciating it subjectively. Today, thanks to the ever growing technological advance, it is possible to obtain accurate, direct and immediate information on the movement velocity of the main resistance training exercises.
The main objective of this book is to explain the contribution that velocity monitoring can make to the improvement of training methodology. This improvement will come about if, using the variable velocity correctly, we can accurately ascertain what load has been applied and what effect has been produced by that load. We analyze the progress made in the last 15 years in the knowledge of the role of movement velocity in its application to resistance training. We believe that this contribution is decisive to progress in the Science of Sports Training.
This book explains in detail several recent studies that constitute the theoretical and experimental foundation of the use of movement velocity as a referent for the monitoring and assessment of strength training. These investigations have been led by Dr. Juan José González Badillo, pioneer in the use of velocity monitoring and deep connoisseur of the sport phenomenon. The contents presented here represent a major paradigm shift in the way of understanding training. The text is aimed at sports coaches, physical trainers working in the field of physical and athletic performance, but also students, researchers and teachers in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences and, in general, anyone interested in the scientific basis of sports training and performance.
