Load-Velocity Relationship

The Load-Velocity Relationship describes how the weight you lift affects the speed at which you can lift it. When you lift heavier weights (higher load), your lifting speed tends to decrease. Conversely, lighter weights can be lifted more quickly. This relationship is important for athletes and trainers, as it helps determine optimal training strategies. By understanding this balance, individuals can tailor their workouts to improve strength, speed, or both effectively, depending on their fitness goals.
