Study of 15% Versus 30% Velocity Loss Thresholds During Bodyweight Squats and Their Effects on Strength and Endurance in Young Women
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Lower-Limb Strength, Muscular Endurance, Velocity-Based Resistance Training
In brief
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how two different velocity loss thresholds (15% and 30%) during bodyweight squats affect strength and endurance in non-athletic young women aged 18-25 years. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does a lower velocity loss threshold (15%) during bodyweight squats improve lower-limb strength? Does a higher velocity loss threshold (30%) during bodyweight squats improve muscular endurance? Researchers will compare the two groups (15% vs. 30% velocity loss) to see if one approach works better for strength and endurance. Participants will: Perform bodyweight squats three times per week for six weeks. Be randomly assigned to either the 15% or 30% velocity loss group. Complete strength and endurance tests before and after the program
