Lecture 7 Principles of training

What is the definition of muscular strength?

• The ability to sustain activity over time

• The maximum power a joint can produce

• The maximal force a muscle or muscle group can generate

• The speed at which a muscle contracts

Which of the following best describes static strength?

• Strength used during fast movement

• Force produced without joint movement

• Strength that changes based on angle and speed

• Strength measured during running

What does dynamic strength depend on?

• Muscle size only

• Body weight and hydration

• Speed and joint angle

• Time of day

What is a 1 repetition maximum (1RM)?

• The number of reps that can be done in 1 minute

• The heaviest weight lifted with perfect form over 10 reps

• The maximum weight that can be lifted once

• The total weight lifted in a workout session

What should always precede a 1RM test?

• Protein shake

• Dynamic stretching

• Warm-up with lighter weight

• Static stretching only

What is muscular power?

• The ability to lift the heaviest weight possible

• The rate at which a muscle produces energy

• The rate of performing work

• The endurance of a muscle over time

muscular power is a explosive aspect of strength

• true

• false

Power is more important than strength for many activities

• true

• false

What does muscular endurance refer to?

• The ability to lift the heaviest weight possible

• capacity to perform repeated
  muscle contractions

• The maximum force a muscle can generate

• The explosive rate of performing work

How is endurance often measured?

• By the number of sets completed

• By the number of repetitions at a given % of 1RM

• By the weight lifted during a 1RM test

• By the amount of time spent resting between sets
