Description
The purpose of the present study was to investigate if any relationship exists
between anthropometric measurements with average concentric velocity (ACV) at
various intensities in the back squat and the number of repetitions able to be
performed during a set to volitional fatigue at 70% of one-repetition maximum
(1RM). It was hypothesised that short femurs and total height would be related to
slower ACVs and lower total number of repetitions performed. 58 resistance trained
subjects were recruited and attended one day of data collection. Subjects performed
1RM testing of the back squat followed by two single repetition sets at 30-90% of
1RM and a 70% of 1RM set to fatigue. There was no significant correlation between
femur length and height with ACV at any intensity (p>0.05). A significant negative
correlation existed between both height (r=-0.39, p=0.003) and femur length (r=-0.31,
p=0.018) with total number of repetitions performed.
