First seen Mar 13, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study looks at how much your squat speed drops during a workout (called velocity loss) and whether a smaller drop (15%) or a larger drop (30%) is better for building leg strength and endurance. About 52 non-athletic women aged 18-25 will do bodyweight squats three times a week for six weeks, with half assigned to each group. Researchers will measure strength with a 30-second chair stand test and endurance with a wall-sit hold time.
