Two-Point Method: A Quick and Fatigue-Free Procedure for Assessment of Muscle Mechanical Capacities and the 1 Repetition Maximum

Abstract the Force-Velocity Relationship Is Used to Evaluate the Maximal Capacities of Active Muscles to Produce Force, Velocity, and Power. The Load-Velocity Relationship Has Also Been Used to Predict the 1 Repetition Maximum (1rm) And, Consequently, the Relative Loads (%1rm). The 2-Point Method Has Recently Emerged as a Quick and Fatigue-Free Procedure for the Assessment of Both the Force-Velocity and Load-Velocity Relationships. This Article Summarizes the Results of Previous Studies That Have Explored the Feasibility of the 2-Point Method and Provides Practical Recommendations for Its Application by Strength and Conditioning Professionals.
