Document Summary

Unit 11; the measurement of muscular power: ability to develop high power = prime factor in athletic process. Measure distance jumped in the standing broad jump. Vertical jump: at least one found in most motor ability and motor fitness batteries. Distance jumped should only be relative power test because amount of body weight and time (cid:374)eeded to ju(cid:373)p is(cid:374)"t i(cid:374)(cid:272)luded: power = work/ time or ( force*distance)/time = fx v. Muscular power: mass = intrinsic, weight = depends on gravitational force, kg: mass and weight. Force of kg: kilopond: n: force, n x m x s-1 or kg x m2 x s-3 = energy and power. Introduction: number of factors that affect strength output of muscle. Angle of pull: power vs velocity shows = max muscular power occurs at one- third to one- half of max velocity. Same with force: 1 rm = one repetition maximum. Procedure and equipment: dumbbell + collars, weight, measuring tape.
