|
ability to contract muscles with maximum force stemming from constraints of structural, physiological, psychoneural, and extneral factor |

Static Strenght |
how much weight you can hold without losing control |
|
Concentric Strength |
how much weight you can lift one time with an all out muscle contraction |
|
Absolute Strength
|
amount of musculoskeletal force you can generate for one all out effort developed through heavy weight training |
|
Starting Strength
|
ability to turn on as many muscle fibers as possible instantaneously
|
|
Speed Strength
|
ability of the neuromuscular system to produce the greatest possible impulse in the shortest possible time
|
|
Explosive Strength
|
the ability to exert strength or force as rapidly as possible in a given action
|
|
Anaerobic Strength
|
musculoskeletal force and energy production that does not require oxygen |
|
Linear Strength Endurance
|
sustained all out max effort over and extended period of time |
|
Nonlinear Strength
|
The ability to perform an activity with exceeding explosiveness over and over for an extended period of time
|
|
Aerobic Strength
|
Musculoskeletal force and energy production that requires oxygen
|
|
General Strength
|
the quality of being physically strong |
|
Special Strength |
specialized type of strength gained that is specific to a particular sport or activity skill/ event. Eg. Explosive Strength and Starting Strength for a Shot Putter.
|
|
Strength Curve
|
A graphical representation of how the human body generates and applies force in a specific direction.
|
|
Force
|
The interaction that creates work, action, or physical change. Such as a push or a pull or lift.
|
|
Fmax
|
An aspect of the strength curve that stands for force max
|
|
Tmax
|
Aspect of the strength curve that stands for time max.Measurement of how long it takes from the beginning of upwards (concentric) movement to exert maximum force (Fmax).
|
|
Functional Strength
|
A category of strength that can improve the ability to perform everyday tasks or sports skills, builds overall strength and balance, and augments resistance to injury
|
|
Amortization Phase
|
Also known as the Transition Phase. One of three parts of a standard resistance training exercise, and represents the brief time between the concentric and eccentric phase of a movement
|
|
Ballistic Stress
|
Commonly used by individuals to help them to develop and improve explosiveness and power in the body. This is achieved by accelerating and releasing weight into free space.
|
|
Ballistic Movement
|
Muscle contractions that exhibit maximum velocities and accelerations over a very short period of time. They exhibit high firing rates, high force production, and very brief contraction times
|
|
Plyometrics
|
Exercises in which muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time, with the goal of increasing both speed and power
|
|
Compensatory Acceleration Training CAT
|
weight lifting technique used to develop explosive strength whereby you accelerate the bar as leverage improves through the movement
|
|
Weight Training
|
physical training that involves lifting weights |
|
Periodization
|
how ones training is broken down into discreet time periods called macrocycles, mesocycles and microcycles |
|
General Adaption Syndrome GAS
|
short term and long term reactions to stress A syndrome in which non-specific reactions of organisms to stress can be grouped into three stages: Alarm, Resistance, and Exhaustion |
|
Supercompensation
|
post training period during which the trained function has a higher performance capacity then it did prior to the training period |
|
Fitness Fatigue Model
|
At any time, preparedness is the difference between the positive effects of fitness and the negative affects of fatigue
|
|
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness DOMS
|
The pain and stiffness experienced in muscles several hours to days after unaccustomed or strenuous exercise
|
|
Flushing Workout
|
Cleansing a muscle of metabolic toxins by increasing the blood supply to it through exertion
|
|
Overreaching
|
An accumulation of training and/ or non-training stress resulting in a short-term decrement in performance capacity with or without related physiological and psychological signs and symptoms of overtraining in which restoration of performance capacity may take from several days to several weeks.
|
|
Constant Resistance |
Weight training technology wherein the weight you are lifting always remains the same, regardless of changing leverage throughout a given exercise movement. The standing example of constant resistance training is lifting a dumbbell or a barbell.
|
|
Variable Resistance
|
Strength training equipment which can, through the use of elliptical cams and other such technology, vary the amount of weight being lifted to match the strength curve for a particular exercise. Nautilus machines, for example, provide this feature.
|
|
Overload Principle
|
States that a greater than normal stress or load on the body is required for training adaptation to take place
|
|
Accommodating Resistance
|
weight training machine which, through the use of air, fluid or clutch plates in tandem with a flywheel, controls the speed with which you are able to move
|
|
Static Contraction
|
A type of training that focuses on a way of developing the most muscle mass and strength through the smallest amount of motion and time in the gym
|
|
Isometric Exercise
|
A type of strength training in which the joint angle and muscle length do not change during contraction
|
|
Calisthenics
|
system of exercise movements, without equipment, for the building of the strength, flexibility, and physical grace. The Greeks formed the word from “kalos” (beautiful) and “sthenos” (strength).
|
|
Unstable Surface Training
|
A training method in which unstable surfaces are used to enhance general balance and contraction potential throughout the body.
|
|
Valsalva Maneuver
|
If the glottis (the narrowest part of the larynx) is closed following full inspiration and the expiratory muscles are fully activated, the compressive forces of exhalation can increase the intrathoracic pressure from 2 or 3 mm Hg to upwards of 100 mm Hg above atmospheric pressure.
