Study summary
Visual feedback improved lifting velocity beyond the feedback set
- Feedback
- Velocity-based training
In brief
This experiment studied whether an acute lifting-velocity response remained after visual feedback was removed. The feedback group increased velocity when feedback was introduced and maintained the change in the following no-feedback set. The control group, which received no feedback, showed decreasing velocity across its sets.
What was studied
A feedback group of 18 participants and a control group of 11 completed three sets of five squat repetitions. Only the feedback group saw visual velocity feedback during the second set.
What the source reported
- 01
Velocity increased from the first to the feedback set in the feedback group.
- 02
The increase remained in the third set after feedback had been removed.
- 03
Between-group changes differed significantly from set one to two and from set one to three, while the control group slowed across sets.
How to interpret the findings
The study examined an acute response within one protocol. It does not establish that the effect persists across future sessions or produces long-term strength or health outcomes.
