Investigates monitoring training intensity using load-velocity variables in athletes, suggesting practical implications.

The research aims to evaluate the viability of the load-intercept from the load-velocity relationship for monitoring resistance training intensity.
Examined load-velocity relationship variables using two incremental load tests in well-trained athletes
Recorded movement mean velocity until reaching one repetition maximum in two sessions
Assessed reliability of load-intercept and 1RM
Analyzed %1RM-MV and %L0-MV relationships for training intensity monitoring
Load-intercept (L0) showed lower between-session reliability (ICC = 0.974) than 1RM (ICC = 0.989)
L0 could serve as an alternative for prescribing training intensity due to acceptable reliability
The %L0-MV relationship was valid for monitoring high-intensity training (absolute error ≤ 4.05%) but not low-intensity (absolute error ≥ 6.31%)
