Technical Note on Using the Movement Velocity to Estimate the Relative Load in Resistance Exercises - Response.

Dear Editor, Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the points ra ised by Nacler io & Larumbe-Zabala regarding our recent article [5] in Sports Medicine International Open. This study provided a detailed description of the load-velocity relationship in the full back squat exercise along with the novel and very important applications that can be derived from this relationship for the practice of resistance exercise.
