Maximal Strength
Maximal amount of force a muscle or muscle group can generate in a specified movement pattern at a specified velocity
Work
Force multiplied by the distance a weight or resistance is moved.
Can be increased by increasing the distance a weight is moved or increasing the weight or resistance being moved
Power
Is the rate of doing work (work/time)
Can be increased by increasing the distance a weight is moved or increasing the weight or resistance being moved or by decreasing the time in which a certain amount of work is performed
Training Volume
Is a measure of the total amount of work (in joules) performed in a training session, a week of training, a month of training, or some other period of time.
Rest period
between sets of an exercise, between exercises, and between training sesssions allow recovery and are important for success of any program
Velocity Specificity
Concept that resistance training produces its greatest strength and power gains at velocity at which training is performed
