KINE 409 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: One-Repetition Maximum, Stopwatch, Osteoporosis
Document Summary
Field tests of strength have existed since at least the time of the ancient olympics. In 1873, dudley sargent, md, started strength testing at. Most strength tests can be considered field & lab tests. A direct measure of strength is the maximal weight that a person can lift 1 time. Obtaining 1 rm for the first time may be. # of attempts to determine the 1 rm & Lack of standardizing the lifting position or procedure. We can approximate the 1 rm by knowing any number of maximal reps from 2 to 20. 1 rm can be calculated from equations based on. Indirect 1 rm is based on a negative linear relationship b/t. % 1 rm load decreases by about 2. 5% for each increase in # of max reps. % 1rm (kg or lb) = 100 (# reps x 2. 5) 1rm = weight lifted / (% 1rm /100) A person lifts 60 kg (176 lb) 10 times.
