Document Summary
Chapter 12 of selected tests (pages 259 to 292) Measuring parameters of athletic performance: ability to respond effectively to the various physical demands of the specific sport or event: maximum muscular strength (low-speed strength): involved relatively low movement speeds and therefore reflect low speed muscular strength. Force a muscle or muscle group can exert in one maximal effort while maintaining proper form, and it can be quantified by the maximum weight that can be lifted at once (1rm). Bench press, back squat, etc: anaerobic power/maximum muscular power (high-speed strength): related t the ability of muscle tissue to exert high force while contracting at a high speed. Very short duration, performed at maximal movement speeds, and produce very high power outputs. Atp and phosphocreatine stored in the active muscles are the primary energy sources. Cycle ergometer: anaerobic capacity: maximal rate of energy production by the combined phosphagen and anaerobic glycolytic energy systems for moderate-duration activities.
