{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 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.

Optimal Force-Velocity Profile for Sprinting: Is It All Bollocks? – Part 4
By Mladen Jovanovic on 07/12/2022In the previous installment, I have demonstrated how to perform sensitivity/optimization analysis of the Acceleration-Velocity Profile (AVP) using (1) probing method and (2) slope method. In this installment I will explain how to do it using the Force-Velocity Profile (FVP).

Optimal Force-Velocity Profile for Sprinting: Is it all bollocks? – Part 3
By Mladen Jovanovic on 21/11/2022In the next two parts of this article series, I will explain how the optimization of the Force-Velocity Profile (FVP) works. Before jumping into FVP optimization, I will first explain the same reasoning using the Acceleration-Velocity Profile (AVP) since it is easier to comprehend.
