Card preview (15)
amount of force a muscle or group of muscles can generate at a given velocity
muscle strength
amount of work a muscle or group of muscles can produces PER UNIT of TIME
muscles power
How do you train power (4)
• maximal rate of force development • force production at slow and fast contraction velocities • strength shortening cycle performance • coordination of movement pattern and skill
heavy resistance and training with slow velocities increases ________ production
increases max force production
power training light to mod loads at high velocities
increase force output at higher velocities
training at higher loads is superior for
maximal strength
training at lower loads is superior for
postural control/balance
what changes occur for muscle power in older adults
• loss of muscle cross-sectional area -sarcopenia and weakness • greater and faster loss of type II muscle fibers
which declines faster in older adults muscle power or muscle strength
muscle power
what are some examples of power training in practice?
squats bridges steps push pull hinges
train at the speed you want to improve is a principle of what
specificity
T or F knee extensors are very responsive to speed specific training
true
T of F knee flexors are very responsive to speed specific training
false
ankle dorsiflexors respond to only high speed training T or F
false respond to both high and low speed
ankle plantarflexors respond to high speed training T or F
False ankle plantarflexors prefer low speeds
