Strength

Question 1

Static strength

Answer 1

The ability to apply a force against a resistance without any movement occurring (isometric contraction). Muscle length remains constant

Question 2

Dynamic strength

Answer 2

The ability to apply a force to overcome a resistance where movement occurs (isotonic contraction). Muscle length changes

Question 3

Strength endurance

Answer 3

The ability to sustain repeated muscular contractions (for a single isometric contraction) over a period of time

Question 4

Maximal strength

Answer 4

The ability to produce a maximum amount of force in a regular muscular contraction

Question 5

Explosive/elastic strength

Answer 5

The ability to produce a maximal amount of force in one or a series of rapid muscular contractions

Question 6

Factors that affect strength

Answer 6

Muscle fibre type make up/ fibre recruited
1A is endurance
2A/2B maximal/explosive

Question 7

Cross section area of the muscle

Answer 7

Larger then cross section, greater the strength of contraction

Question 8

Strength endurance reps sets and resistance

Answer 8

15-20 reps
3-5 sets
50-75% of ORM

Question 9

Maximum strength reps sets and resistance

Answer 9

1-5 reps
3-5 sets
85-90% of ORM

Question 10

Explosive strength reps sets and resistance

Answer 10

6-10 reps
4-6 sets
75-85% of ORM
