Jukic I, Castilla AP, Ramos AG, Van Hooren B, McGuigan MR, Helms ER · 2023 · Sports Medicine 53(1):177-214

REZA evidence rating B: Reasonable confidence

Methodology

Systematic review, meta-analysis and critical appraisal

Findings

Steering sets by velocity loss is one way to limit within-set fatigue, with effects that differ per outcome measure.

Practical conclusion for REZA

Relevant for advanced clients whose load needs precise dosing. For most clients it adds little over a good estimate of proximity to failure.
