Maximum Effort (Principles 2/3)

Question 1

What are the two principles related to Maximum effort?

Answer 1

Production of Maximum Force (principle 2)

Production of Maximum Velocity (principle 3)

Question 2

What is the Production of maximum force?

Answer 2

“The production of maximum force requires the use of all possible joint movements that contribute to the task’s objective.”

Basically “In order to produce max force, you have to utilize all possible joint movements that help complete the task. The more you use, the more force you’ll have.”

Question 3

Example of Principle 2 in action?

Answer 3

When we run, you rely on the ankle joints, hips and knee joints.

Full rotation is achieved through the contraction of numerous muscles.

These movements begin at the ankles and are followed by similar sequenced joint rotations at the knees and hips.

Question 4

What is the Production of Maximum Velocity?

Answer 4

“The production of maximum velocity requires the use of joints in order—from largest to smallest.”

Basically it’s saying “In order to produce max velocity, you have to utilize the joints from biggest for max force all the way to the smaller, more intricate ones.”

Question 5

Example of Principle 3 in action?

Answer 5

When throwing a baseball:

Joint movement in the legs is followed closely by rotation of the hips.

Rotation of the hips is followed by rotations of the arms, the elbows, and the wrists
