Methods: Previously untrained individuals completed a supervised, three-session weekly resistance training program involving concentric, eccentric, and isometric phases, repeated every 2 to 4 weeks. Isokinetic dynamometry measured the strength of elbow flexors\/extensors at 60\u00b0\/s and 150\u00b0\/s, and knee flexors\/extensors at 60\u00b0\/s and 240\u00b0\/s at Baseline, 3 months, and 5 months. F-V parameters, including maximal theoretical force (F0) and the F-V slope, were calculated. Participants also performed 1-RM tests for the upper and lower limbs. Repeated measures ANOVA with effect size (\u03b72 &gt; 0.14 as large) was used to analyze changes in F-V parameters and repeated measures correlation was used to test their association with 1-RM outcomes. Results: Eighteen male participants (22.0 \u00b1 3.4 years) were analyzed. F0 significantly increased for all muscle groups (\u03b72 = 0.423 to 0.883) except elbow flexors. F-V slope significantly decreased (steeper) for knee extensors and flexors (\u03b72 = 0.348 to 0.695). Knee extensors showed greater F0 gains and steeper F-V slopes than flexors (\u03b72 = 0.398 to 0.686). F0 gains were associated with 1-RM changes (r = 0.38 to 0.83), while F-V slope changes correlated only with lower limb 1-RM (r = \u22120.37 to \u22120.68). Conclusions: The 20-week resistance training program significantly increased F0 and shifted the F-V profile towards a more \u201cforce-oriented\u201d state in knee muscles. These changes correlated with improved 1-RM performance. Future studies should include longer follow-ups and control groups.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jfmk9040222","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,5]],"date-time":"2024-11-05T09:40:54Z","timestamp":1730799654000},"page":"222","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Impact of a 20-Week Resistance Training Program on the Force\u2013Velocity Profile in Novice Lifters Using Isokinetic Two-Point Testing"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7670-8791","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joffrey","family":"Drigny","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Medicine and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, CHU de Caen Normandie, Normandie Univ, UFR Sant\u00e9, GIP Cyceron, INSERM Comete, 14000 Caen, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3971-5367","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicolas","family":"Pamart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Inter-University Laboratory of Human Movement Science (LIBM EA7424), University of Lyon, University Jean Monnet, 42100 Saint-Etienne, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"H\u00e9l\u00e8ne","family":"Azambourg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Medicine, Normandie Univ, UFR Sant\u00e9, UNICAEN, CHU de Caen Normandie, 14000 Caen, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-0542-4362","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marion","family":"Remilly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Medicine, Normandie Univ, UFR Sant\u00e9, UNICAEN, CHU de Caen Normandie, 14000 Caen, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emmanuel","family":"Reboursi\u00e8re","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Medicine, Normandie Univ, UFR Sant\u00e9, UNICAEN, CHU de Caen Normandie, 14000 Caen, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antoine","family":"Gauthier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Normandie Univ, UFR Sant\u00e9, GIP Cyceron, INSERM Comete, 14000 Caen, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8099-0654","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amir","family":"Hodzic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology and Sports Medicine, Normandie Univ, UFR Sant\u00e9, UNICAEN, CHU de Caen Normandie, INSERM Comete, GIP Cyceron, 14000 Caen, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"17","DOI":"10.2165\/11537690-000000000-00000","article-title":"Developing Maximal Neuromuscular Power","volume":"41","author":"Cormie","year":"2011","journal-title":"Sports Med."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Alcazar, J., Csapo, R., Ara, I., and Alegre, L.M.
