• body composition

• skill related component

is a function of body's adaptation to exercise. It could be developed and maintain through the regular and proper exercise program.

refers to the ability of the muscle to exert maximum effort in brief duration or perform a various activities and may be developed through isotonic, isometric, and isokinetic contractions

are voluntary contractions in which muscles shorten and lengthen alternately.

types of isotonic contraction

• isometric

• concentric

• accentric

• eccentric

refers to muscle that shortens during exercise. There is no movement that occurs and the length of the muscle remains unchanged.

refers to the muscle that lengthens during exercise. Muscles exert force due to an outside resistance.

isotonic exercise for strength development

• plyometric

• aerobics

• calisthenics

• weight/resistance training

• isokinetic

called as "jump training" that is used by the athletes to train for the development of power. These involve a quick stretch followed by a strong muscle contraction.
