Question 2

how to test strength

Answer 2

hand grip dynamometer
vertical jump test
one rep max test

Question 3

what affects strength

Answer 3

muscle fibres type (FG)
cross-sectional area (bigger = more fibres)
gender
age (girls peak 16-25 males peak 18-30)

Question 4

What are the neural pathways?

Answer 4

increased recruitment of motor units + FG + FOG fibre types.
decreased inhibitition of the stomach reflex
overall speed, strength and power increase

Question 5

muscle and connective tissues

Answer 5

muscle hypertrophy
strength of tendons + ligaments
increased bone density + mass
overall increased muscle mass, strength and speed

Question 6

metabolic function

Answer 6

increased enzyme activity
increased buffering capacity
increased muscle mass
overall increased energy production and metabolic rate and anaerobic threshold
