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.
