Abstract

This study investigated the effects of execution speed on measures of strength, muscular power, and hypertrophy. Eighteen male subjects trained with the half-squat exercise using an 8- to 12-RM load for 7-1/2 weeks. Eight subjects tried to produce fast concentric contractions while 10 subjects emphasized slow controlled movements. Both groups improved significantly in all measures; however, no significant differences were observed between the groups over the training period. Trends based on percentage improvements gave some support for the fast group improving more (68.7%) than the slow group (23.5%) in maximum rate of force development. The slow group improved to a greater extent (31%) that the fast group (12.4%) in absolute isometric strength, whereas the percentage gains in hypertrophy were similar for both groups. It was concluded that strength, speed-strength, and hypertrophy measures can be simultaneously developed significantly in beginning weight trainers. Beginner athletes should consider the possible effects of consciously controlling speed of contraction in weight training.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
