High volume power training (HVPT) involves high volumes of high-velocity resistance training, with the aim to improve repeated high-intensity efforts (RHIEs). Repeat power ability (RPA) is the ability to repeatedly produce maximal or near maximal efforts. Assessments of RPA using external loading may determine the ability to perform repeat RHIEs typical of many sports and, therefore, provide useful information on the effectiveness of training.
(1) Identify the different HVPT protocols; (2) examine the acute responses and chronic adaptations to different HVPT protocols; (3) identify different lower body RPA assessment protocols and highlight similarities, differences and potential limitations between each protocol, and; (4) describe the reliability and validity of RPA assessments.
An electronic search was performed using SPORTDiscus, PubMed, CINAHL and Embase for studies utilising HVPT protocols and assessments of RPA. Eligible studies included peer-reviewed journal articles published in English.
Twenty studies met the inclusion criteria of the final review. Of the eight longitudinal studies, three were rated as fair and five were rated as poor methodological quality, respectively. In contrast, all 12 cross-sectional studies were considered to have a low risk of bias. Preliminary evidence suggests that HVPT can enhance RHIE, RPA, anaerobic capacity, anaerobic power and aerobic performance. HVPT generally consists of 2-3 sessions per week, utilising loads of 30-40% 1 repetition maximum (RM), for 3-5 sets of 10-20 repetitions, with inter-set rest periods of 2-3 min. RPA assessments can be valid and reliable and may provide useful information on an athlete's ability to perform RHIE and the success of HVPT programmes.
HVPT can be used to improve a number of physical qualities including RPA and RHIE; while a variety of RPA assessments provide valid and reliable information regarding the athlete's ability to perform RHIEs. Considering the heterogeneity in the HVPT protocols currently used and the relatively low volume and quality of longitudinal publications in this area, further studies are needed to identify the effects of a variety of HVPT methods on RPA, RHIE and other performance outcomes and to identify the most valid and reliable RPA outcomes to use in such studies.
高容量力量训练（HVPT）涉及大量的高速抗阻训练，旨在提高重复高强度努力（RHIE）的能力。重复力量能力（RPA）是指反复产生最大或接近最大努力的能力。使用外部负荷评估 RPA 可以确定执行许多运动中典型的重复 RHIE 的能力，因此，提供有关训练效果的有用信息。
（1）确定不同的 HVPT 方案；（2）检查不同 HVPT 方案的急性反应和慢性适应；（3）确定不同的下肢 RPA 评估方案，并强调每个方案之间的相似之处、差异和潜在局限性；（4）描述 RPA 评估的可靠性和有效性。
使用 SPORTDiscus、PubMed、CINAHL 和 Embase 对使用 HVPT 方案和 RPA 评估的研究进行电子检索。合格的研究包括以英文发表的同行评议期刊文章。
最终综述纳入了 20 项研究。在 8 项纵向研究中，有 3 项被评为中等质量，5 项被评为低质量，而所有 12 项横断面研究被认为具有低偏倚风险。初步证据表明，HVPT 可以提高 RHIE、RPA、无氧能力、无氧功率和有氧表现。HVPT 通常每周进行 2-3 次，使用 30-40%1 重复最大（RM）的负荷，进行 3-5 组 10-20 次重复，组间休息时间为 2-3 分钟。RPA 评估可以是有效的和可靠的，并可能提供有关运动员进行 RHIE 的能力和 HVPT 计划成功的有用信息。
HVPT 可用于提高多项身体素质，包括 RPA 和 RHIE；而各种 RPA 评估提供了有关运动员进行 RHIE 能力的有效和可靠信息。考虑到目前使用的 HVPT 方案的异质性以及该领域纵向出版物的数量和质量相对较低，需要进一步研究以确定各种 HVPT 方法对 RPA、RHIE 和其他性能结果的影响，并确定用于此类研究的最有效和可靠的 RPA 结果。
