Specific strength

Strength and conditioning professionals are required to effectively evaluate playing ability in collegiate football players on an individual basis. Many of the techniques used for evaluating playing ability in collegiate linemen are poor indicators of skill in these athletes due to a lack of specificity in these tests. Specific to linemen, the development of an explosive start is essential since these athletes are lined up so close to each other. Strength and Power play a vital role in the…

well designed your specific exercise routine fits to your sport? It’s simple, it’s the specificity of your exercise routine. If you train like the majority, then you will play and execute like the majority. If you exercise with a routine specifically designed with complex and thorough exercises using the latest equipment, then your training will improve and positive results will show on and off the playing field. The game of volleyball requires the player to have muscular strength in both the…

After reading a few chapters of Strengths Quest, I was instructed to participate in the Strengths Finder assessment (Anderson, Clifton, & Schreiner, 2006). This 30 minute assessment was an interesting tool that pointed out my greatest strengths. It also provided a detailed description of what having those strengths mean and examples of how they are prominent in a person 's life. After taking the StrengthsFinder survey, I discovered that my five dominant strengths are empathy, harmony,…

known as poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide. Kevlar is part of the aramid family. (Kevlar-The Super Tough Fiber)Aramid chemical name is aromatic polyamide. Aramids was the first organic fibre to reinforce advanced composites. The reason being it strength, and tensile modulus was high enough to be used in advance composites. The fibre mechanical properties of an aramid are higher then most materials like steel and glass fibres if the weight of all three are equal. Aramids can maintain these…
