Study of 15% Versus 30% Velocity Loss Thresholds During Bodyweight Squats and Their Effects on Strength and Endurance in Young Women

Effect of 15% Versus 30% Intra-Set Velocity Loss Thresholds During Bodyweight Squats on Lower-Limb Strength and Muscular Endurance in Non-Athletic Young Female Adults.

Sponsor

University of Health Sciences Lahore

Enrollment

52 participants

Start Date

Feb 22, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Muscular Endurance Lower-Limb Strength Velocity-Based Resistance Training

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how two different velocity loss thresholds (15% and 30%) during bodyweight squats affect strength and endurance in non-athletic young women aged 18-25 years. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does a lower velocity loss threshold (15%) during bodyweight squats improve lower-limb strength? Does a higher velocity loss threshold (30%) during bodyweight squats improve muscular endurance? Researchers will compare the two groups (15% vs. 30% velocity loss) to see if one approach works better for strength and endurance. Participants will: Perform bodyweight squats three times per week for six weeks. Be randomly assigned to either the 15% or 30% velocity loss group. Complete strength and endurance tests before and after the program

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This clinical trial is studying a behavioral approach called Body-weight squat training (15% velocity loss threshold) and a behavioral approach called Body-weight squat training (30% velocity loss threshold) for people with lower-limb strength, muscular endurance, and other related conditions. The study is currently recruiting participants at 1 location.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALBody-weight squat training (15% velocity loss threshold)

Participants will perform supervised body-weight squat training using an intra-set velocity loss threshold of 15%. Velocity loss will be monitored using standardized metronome cadence as a proxy for movement velocity. Training frequency, volume, and progression will be consistent across groups except for the velocity loss threshold.

BEHAVIORALBody-weight squat training (30% velocity loss threshold)

Participants will perform supervised body-weight squat training using an intra-set velocity loss threshold of 30%. Velocity loss will be monitored using standardized metronome cadence as a proxy for movement velocity. Training frequency, volume, and progression will be consistent across groups except for the velocity loss threshold.
