Static and Dynamic
What is strength?
Force that a muscle can generate, JUST 1X.
What is the definition of power?
Explosive and how quickly you can move something
True or False: Force is more important for many activities than strength.
True
True or False: They can easily test power within field tests.
False; not very specific for power
what is the formula for power?
= power force or weight lifted X (distance/time)
How is power typically measured?
Electronic devices
What is endurance?
Greatest number of reps that can be completed at an established percent.
What’s an example of testing endurance with an athlete?
- 10 reps for athlete A and B same position
- Combine football players benching
What is involved in 1RM, strength or power?
Muscular strength
Aerobic Power
How much energy can we get with oxygen dependent metabolic processes?
VO2 max
Maximal oxygen uptake and utilization; easy field test
What test do they use for anerobic power?
Windgate power test
What is the windgate power test?
- 35-45 seconds fatigued
- Pedal as fast as possible
-Weight plates are dropped (certain percentage of body weight) - Measure to see how much power is generated
What is the critical power test?
- Over 3 minute period
- Calculated by anerobic power, peak power
