Ten male trained individuals (20.9 \u00b1 0.7 years) randomly performed two protocols of three sets of six repetitions at 80% of their one-repetition maximum with different exercise sequences: the bench press followed by the squat (BP + S) and the squat followed by the bench press (S + BP). A linear velocity transducer attached to the Smith machine barbell measured the mean propulsive velocity (MPV), peak velocity (PV), and time to peak velocity. Additionally, blood lactate and heart rate were measured. Regarding the bench press, differences were found in the MPV in the first (BP + S: 0.50 \u00b1 0.07 m\u00b7s\u22121 vs. S + BP: 0.42 \u00b1 0.08 m\u00b7s\u22121; p = 0.03, g = 0.72) and second sets (0.50 \u00b1 0.06 m\u00b7s\u22121 vs. 0.42 \u00b1 0.07 m\u00b7s\u22121; p = 0.03, g = 0.73), and in the PV in the second set (0.74 \u00b1 0.09 m\u00b7s\u22121 vs. 0.63 \u00b1 0.09 m\u00b7s\u22121; p = 0.02, g = 0.86). Regarding the squat, although the S + BP sequence tended to show higher velocities, no significant differences were found between protocols. These results showed that squatting first decreased subsequent bench press velocity performance. On the other hand, squat velocity performance was not impaired when preceded by the bench press.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/app14177436","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,26]],"date-time":"2024-08-26T04:48:25Z","timestamp":1724647705000},"page":"7436","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Impact of Exercise Order on Velocity Performance in the Bench Press and the Squat: A Comparative Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8032-8724","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rog\u00e9rio Martins","family":"Pereira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport Sciences, University of Beira Interior, Convento de Santo Ant\u00f3nio, 6200-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"},{"name":"Research Center in Sports Sciences, Health Sciences and Human Development (CIDESD), Convento de Santo Ant\u00f3nio, 6200-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6653-0616","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diogo Lu\u00eds","family":"Marques","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport Sciences, University of Beira Interior, Convento de Santo Ant\u00f3nio, 6200-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"},{"name":"Research Center in Sports Sciences, Health Sciences and Human Development (CIDESD), Convento de Santo Ant\u00f3nio, 6200-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Ana Ruivo","family":"Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport Sciences, University of Beira Interior, Convento de Santo Ant\u00f3nio, 6200-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"},{"name":"Research Center in Sports Sciences, Health Sciences and Human Development (CIDESD), Convento de Santo Ant\u00f3nio, 6200-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2351-3047","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel Almeida","family":"Marinho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport Sciences, University of Beira Interior, Convento de Santo Ant\u00f3nio, 6200-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"},{"name":"Research Center in Sports Sciences, Health Sciences and Human Development (CIDESD), Convento de Santo Ant\u00f3nio, 6200-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7907-6950","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pedro Pombo","family":"Neves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport Sciences, University of Beira Interior, Convento de Santo Ant\u00f3nio, 6200-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"},{"name":"Research Center in Sports Sciences, Health Sciences and Human Development (CIDESD), Convento de Santo Ant\u00f3nio, 6200-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5790-5116","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ant\u00f3nio Jos\u00e9","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center in Sports Sciences, Health Sciences and Human Development (CIDESD), Convento de Santo Ant\u00f3nio, 6200-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"},{"name":"Department of Sport Sciences, University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD), 5000-801 Vila Real, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9283-312X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Henrique Pereira","family":"Neiva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport Sciences, University of Beira Interior, Convento de Santo Ant\u00f3nio, 6200-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"},{"name":"Research Center in Sports Sciences, Health Sciences and Human Development (CIDESD), Convento de Santo Ant\u00f3nio, 6200-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,23]]},"reference":[{"doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"ACSM (2009).
