Document Summary

Exercise training- repeated bouts of exercise performed over time. Maximal force that a muscle can generate during one single effort. Gaining more muscular strength involves changes to the structure and. 1-repetition maximum (1rm) neural control of the muscle. Rate of performing work, produce of force and velocity. Explosive aspect of strength, product of strength and speed of movement. Can be more important than strength because someone with more power= force x distance/time force= strength distance/time=speed strength in football may be unable to control another player who has less strength but can move faster. Measured by specific devices, not field tests. Muscles ability to perform repeated muscle contractions or sustain a contraction over time. Number of reps able to perform at percentage of 1rm. Increased by gaining strength and changes in metabolic and cardiovascular function. Rate of energy released by cellular metabolic processes that depend on the availability of o2. Maximal capacity for aerobic resynthesis of atp.
