This study compared the effects of velocity-based resistance training (VBRT) and traditional resistance training (TRT) on physical performance, anaerobic capacity, and perceptual responses in trained male football players. Sixteen participants were randomly assigned to either a VBRT group or a TRT group and completed an 8-week resistance training program. The study aimed to determine whether VBRT provides greater improvements in explosive performance, anaerobic power, balance, football-specific performance, and fatigue-related perceptions compared with traditional percentage-based resistance training.
