Abstract
This study examined the effects of squat training on throwing performance in collegiate track and field athletes. After one year of pre-designed squat training, using RIR (Repetitions in Reserve) to determine training load, squat one repetition maximum and throwing distance increased. Body weight also increased, while vertical jump height maintained. In result, training using RIR is potentially effective to increase squat one repetition maximum, which leads to improvement in throwing performance.
