Optimal power load parameters in deadlift and squat exercises in Young athletes
Abstract
Introduction: Training based on optimal power load (OPL) requires know in which load zone your athlete achieves the higher power, using specific devices. However, for trainers who do not have these devices, it is important to have parameters that can help prescribe training. Objective: to describe the parameters of mean propulsive velocity (MPV), load and relative power (RELpwr) in a COP test on deadlift (DL) and squat (SQ) exercises and verify the relationship with the height of the vertical jump. Materials and Method: 24 athletes (futsal, basketball and volleyball), from the under-19 category, were analyzed, undergoing the COP test and countermovement jump (CMJ). For the COP test, percentage of body mass (%BM) was used as a load progression metric. Results: The COP, in most of the sample, was found between 40 and 50% of the body mass of the athletes, who reached MPV of 0.79 to 0.89 m.s-1 in the DL and 0.87 to 0.96 m.s- 1 in SQ. There was a moderate positive correlation between RELpwr in SQ and CMJ height. Conclusion: Young athletes with few or no experience in power training show a tendency for COP between 40 and 50% of %BM, which can be useful for coaches who wish to prescribe based on a training load zone relative to %BM, which is easy to apply in everyday practice.
