Power Goals

Goals
  • emphasizes the development of speed and power
  • enhance prime mover strength
  • increase rate of force production
  • enhance neuromuscular efficiency (balance, stabilization, coordination)
Training Strategies
  • superset with a traditional strength exercise (heavy load) followed by a power exercise (light load performed as fast as possible)
  • 1-5 reps (strength) + 8-10 reps (power)
  • 85-100% strength + 30-45% IRM Power
  • rest 1-2 min between pairs,  3-5 min between circuits
Overall Benefits

Physiologic
  • cardio-respiratory efficiency
  • beneficial endocrine (hormone) and serum lipid (cholesterol) adaptations
  • metabolic efficiency (metabolism)
  • bone density
Physical
  • decrease body fat
  • increases lean body mass (muscle)
  • increases tissue tensile strength (tendons, ligaments, muscles
Performance Benefits
  • Strength
  • Power
  • Endurance
  • Flexibility
  • Speed
  • Agility
  • Balance
