Resistance Training - Power

-- ability of the neuromuscular system to produce the greatest force in the shortest time
-- power = force (weight) X velocity (speed moved)
-- applied at more realistic speeds and forces seen in everyday life
-- an increase in either force or velocity will produce an increase in power

Resistance Training - Strength

Strength
-- ability to produce and maintain force production for prolonged periods of time
-- helps to increase core and joint stabilization - which is the foundation for hypertrophy, strength and power
-- muscular endurance of core focuses on recruitement of muscles responsible for postural stability (type 1 muscle fibers)
-- use HIGH reps to improve muscular endurance
-- 2 sets of 20-28 reps 2 days per week increased local muscle endurance

Hypertrophy
-- enlargement of skeletal muscle fibers in response to overcoming force from high volumes of tension
-- low to intermediate reps, with progressive overload lead to hypertrophy
-- usually type 2 muslces


Maximum Strength
-- ability of the neuromuscular system to produce internal tension to overcome an external load
-- the degree of internal tension is the result of strength adaptations
-- any program should train all muscle actions in different planes of motion
-- usually type 2 muscles

Resistance Training - Stabilization

-- ability to provide optimal dynamic joint support to maintain correct posture during all movements
-- getting the right muscles to fire, with the right amount of force in the proper plane of motion and at the right time
-- requires optimal recruitment of prime movers

-- repeatedly training on unstable surfaces increases body's ability to balance and stabilize itself
-- improper stabilization can negatively affect a muscle's force production
-- increases ability of kinetic chain to stabilize the lumbo-pelvic hip complex and joints during movement to allow arms and legs to work efficiently
-- type 1 muscles
