Document Summary
Absolute strength: irrespective of body mass- concentration on hypertrophy. Relative strength: relative to body mass- maximal strength training methods. Gymnastics, weight category sports (i. e. wrestling and boxing) Starting strength: greatest possible strength in the shortest possible time- the increase in force at the beginning of a muscular contraction. Explosive strength: to continue developing strength as fast as possible- increase of force per unit time. Ex. shot put, explosive change of direction in basketball, hockey. Reactive strength: effective use of the strength-shortening cycle to combine eccentric and concentric strength- emphasis on short contact time and amortization. Endurance strength: ability for prolonged repetitions; fatigue resistance- concentrate on energy systems with manipulation of durations and rest periods. Transfer of angular momentum: high speed angular motions generated by proper mechanics. Originates from a strong and powerful lower body and torso. Hypertrophy: refers to muscle growth together with an increase in the size of muscle cells.
