Compensatory Acceleration Training (CAT) enhances power production by advocating an increase in movement speed as resistance increases, optimizing overall performance in strength training.
Dr. Fred Hatfield's foundational work, particularly in his 1996 book "Power: A Scientific Approach," introduced compensatory acceleration as a method to improve force output in resistance training.
According to Dr. Hatfield, the core principle of compensatory acceleration is that as mechanical advantages increase in lifting, athletes must accelerate their movements to maximize power.
John Welbourn emphasizes the practical application of compensatory acceleration in modern training regimens, highlighting its importance for athletes seeking optimal performance by increasing movement velocity.
