Prescribing Strength Training for Team Sports – Part 4
By Mladen Jovanovic on 23/10/2023In this video, I will discuss Velocity-based Training (VBT). This includes the discussion of the two main VBT selling points: 1) Velocity at %1RM is stable over time and can thus be used to estimate %1RM; and 2) Velocity at RIR (regardless of load) is stable over time and can thus be used to estimate proximity to failure.

Prescribing Strength Training for Team Sports – Part 1
By Mladen Jovanovic on 17/09/2023In the following video series I will tackle the problem of designing and prescribing resistance training programs for team sports (or groups sharing the same program). The following topics will be covered: 1) Facility design; 2) Prescribing load; 3) Microcycle planning.

{LEVsim}: Theoretical Load-Exertion-Velocity Model – Part 4: Prescription and Monitoring
By Mladen Jovanovic on 05/08/2023In the previous parts, prescribed load that needs to be lifted was prescribed as an absolute weight (e.g., 130 kg). {LEVsim} allows to prescribe load to be lifted using (1) absolute load, (2) percent of L0, (3) percent of profile 1RM, (4) percent of visit 1RM, (5) and percent of prescription (or planning) 1RM. I will walk you through...

{LEVsim}: Theoretical Load-Exertion-Velocity Model – Part 3: RIR, Between-set, and Between-Visit Effects
By Mladen Jovanovic on 30/06/2023The only theoretical model to simulate strength training data. In this instalment we will introduce subjective Reps In Reserve metric, as well as between-sets and between-visits effects.

{LEVsim}: Theoretical Load-Exertion-Velocity Model – Part 2: LEVsim Model
By Mladen Jovanovic on 13/05/2023In this article, we dive into the LEVsim Theoretical Load Exertion Velocity Model and its application in training. Discover how this model can help coaches and athletes optimize their training programs and improve performance.

{LEVsim}: Theoretical Load-Exertion-Velocity Model – Part 1: Resistance Training Phenomena
By Mladen Jovanovic on 22/03/2023Resistance training prescription can be conceptualized from the dose perspective. The dose is a complex construct, but for the purpose of this article series, I will define it using the four interdependent components: (1) intensity, (2) volume, (3) density, and (4) other.
