Measuring Muscular Performance

Tensiometry, dynamometry, 1-RM testing with weights


And computer-assisted force and work-output determinations including isokinetic-type measurements provide the most common methods to measure muscular performance

Allometric Scaling

Offers another method to compare physiologic variables among individuals

Optimal overload training to strengthen muscles involves 3 factors:

1) increasing resistance (load) to muscle action


2) increasing speed of muscle action


3) combining increased load and speed

Strength Gains

An overload between 60-80% of a muscle's force-generating capacity induces strength gains

3 major strength-training systems include:

-progressive resistance weight training


-isometrics


-isokinetic training (offers potential to generate max force throughout the full ROM at different angular velocities of limb movement)

Resistance training programs

Uses relatively moderate concentric muscle actions improve children's strength without adverse effects on bone, muscle or connective tissue

Periodisation

Divides a distinct period or macrocycle of resistance training into smaller mesocycles; these subdivide into weekly microcycles.


This minimises staleness and overtraining effects to maximize peak performance that coincides with competition

Resistance Training for Competitive Athletes

Optimises muscular strength, power and hypertrophy.

Concurrent Training for muscular strength and aerobic capacity

Inhibits magnitude and strength improvement compared with training only for muscular strength

Pyometric Training

Emphasizes the inherent stretch-recoil characteristics of the neuromuscular system to facilitate muscle power development

Functional movement training

Via body weight-supported exercise offers a unique approach to sports training

Core training

Remains an integral part of sports training and physical conditioning to improve muscular balance, muscular strength and trunk stabilization
