A total of 96 young women and 256 young men (recreational athletes) performed an incremental test (50\u201360\u201370\u201380% 1RM) comprising the bench press and full squat exercises in two different sessions. The individual load and velocity ratios were established through the MPV. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 25.0, with the significance level set at 5%. The following findings were revealed: highly linear load-velocity relationships in the group of women (r = 0.806 in the squat, and r = 0.872 in the bench press) and in the group of men (r = 0.832 and r = 0.880, respectively); significant differences (p &lt; 0.001) in the MPV at 50\u201370\u201380% 1RM between the bench press and the full squat in men and at 70\u201380% 1RM in women; and a high variability in the MPV (11.49% to 22.63) in the bench press and full squat (11.58% to 25.15%) was observed in women and men (11.31% to 21.06%, and 9.26% to 24.2%) at the different percentages of 1RM evaluated. These results suggest that the load-velocity ratio in non-strength-trained subjects should be determined individually to more precisely establish the relative load to be used in a full squat and bench press training program.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19116756","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,1]],"date-time":"2022-06-01T03:33:18Z","timestamp":1654054398000},"page":"6756","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Bar Load-Velocity Profile of Full Squat and Bench Press Exercises in Young Recreational Athletes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Jairo Alejandro","family":"Fernandez Ortega","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Applied and Environmental Sciences, Street 222 #55-37, Bogot\u00e1 111166, Colombia"},{"name":"Laboratory of Exercise Physiology, Faculty of Physical Education, National Pedagogical University, Street 7 #11-86, Bogot\u00e1 480100, Colombia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8973-1541","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dario","family":"Mendoza Romero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Santo Tomas, North Highway 205 Street, Via Arrayanes km 1.6, Bogot\u00e1 110141, Colombia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8681-0642","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hugo","family":"Sarmento","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Coimbra, Research Unit for Sport and Physical Activity (CIDAF), Faculty of Sport Sciences and Physical Education, 3004-531 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Prieto Mondrag\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Applied and Environmental Sciences, Street 222 #55-37, Bogot\u00e1 111166, Colombia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"724","DOI":"10.1111\/sms.12678","article-title":"Effects of velocity loss during resistance training on athletic performance, strength gains and muscle adaptations","volume":"27","author":"Dorado","year":"2017","journal-title":"Scand.
