Overview

Investigates barbell velocity stability across sets and intensities in male athletes, implying practical training implications.

Key Points

  • The aim is to determine if mean barbell velocity at given repetitions in reserve remains stable across different intensity levels during hang cleans.
  • Nineteen Division II male athletes participated in two trials of hang cleans to failure at 70% and 80% of their one-rep max (1RM).
  • Data on the final five repetitions in reserve (RIR) were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVAs.
  • Mean velocities were compared across multiple sets and intensity levels.
  • No overall differences in mean velocity for 5 RIR, 3 RIR, or 1 RIR across sets or intensity levels were found.
  • Significant pairwise differences in velocity were observed for 4 RIR and 2 RIR at specific set and intensity combinations.
  • Effect sizes for significant differences ranged from 0.44 to 0.79.
