Document Summary
Muscular power: muscular power: rate of performing work. Power = force x (distance/time: power more important than strength for many activities, field tests not very specific to power, typically measured with electronic devices. Muscular endurance: endurance: capacity to perform repeated muscle contractions (or sustain a single contraction over time, number of repetitions at given % 1rm, increased through. Aerobic power: aerobic power: rate of energy release by oxygen-dependent metabolic processes, maximal aerobic power: maximal capacity for aerobic resynthesis of atp. Can be tested in lab or estimated from wide variety of field tests. Anaerobic power: anaerobic power: rate of energy release by oxygen-independent metabolic processes, maximal anaerobic power: maximal capacity of anaerobic systems to produce atp. Decrease volume/increase intensity: macrocycles versus mesocycles. Macrocycle generally up to a year of training, usually made up of two or more mesocycles: principle of reversibility, use it or lose it, training to improved strength and endurance, detraining reverses gains.
