Velocity-based training (VBT) means watching how quickly we lift weights. Instead of only focusing on heavy lifts, we try to move weights as fast as safely possible. This approach has shown promise for improving strength, power, and everyday abilities (like walking speed and standing up from a chair) that matter for healthy aging. Researchers have begun testing whether monitoring bar speed – and stopping sets when lifts slow down by a set amount (a velocity loss target) – can boost strength and functional outcomes in older adults (www.sciencedirect.com) (suppr.wilddata.cn). ...
