Reliability of the velocity achieved during the last repetition of sets to failure and its association with the velocity of the 1-repetition maximum

Abstract

Although these results suggest that <i>V</i> _last could be a better indicator of the minimal velocity threshold than <i>V</i> _1RM, the low reliability of <i>V</i> _last and the similar values of <i>V</i> _last for both BP variants suggest that a standard <i>V</i> _1RM should be used to estimate the 1RM from the individualized load-velocity relationship.
