The ability to produce and maintain force production for prolonged periods of time
|
|
|
Muscular Hypertrophy
|
Enlargement of skeletal muscle fibers in response to overcomeing force from high volumes of tension

|
|
|
Circuit-Training System
|
A series of exercises that an individual performs one after the other, with minimal rest between each exercise
