1. Method enabling an athlete performing a muscular training exercise to determine a setpoint for the rate of displacement of the displaced mass, comprising the following steps:
- 1) determining at least one initial setpoint rate at which said mass has to be displaced;
2) entering, by the athlete, into the portable accelerometer of a qualitative objective for training;
3) during the athlete'"'"'s training exercise, measuring a series of acceleration values using said portable accelerometer according to the displacements of said mass; and
4) depending on said series of acceleration values, having said portable accelerometer calculate at least one modified setpoint rate, with at least one setpoint value calculated by said accelerometer being dependent on said qualitative objective.

Abstract
Method enabling an athlete (3) performing a muscular training exercise to determine a setpoint for the rate of displacement of the displaced mass (2), comprising the following steps:
- 1) determining at least one initial setpoint rate at which said mass has to be displaced;
- 2) during the athlete'"'"'s training exercise, measuring a series of acceleration values (a(n)) using a portable accelerometer (30) according to the displacements of said mass; and
- 3) depending on said series of acceleration values, having said portable accelerometer calculate at least one modified setpoint rate.
