Document Summary
Muscular strength: maximal force that a muscle or muscle group can generate. 1 repetition maximum (1rm): maximal weight that can be lifted with a single effort. Add weight until only 1 repetition can be performed. Power is more important than strength for many activities. Field tests are not very specific to power. Muscular endurance: capacity to perform repeated muscle contractions (or sustain a single contraction over time) Increased through gains in muscle strength and changes in metabolic, cardiovascular function. Aerobic power: rate of energy release by oxygen-dependent metabolic processes. Maximal aerobic power: maximal capacity for aerobic resynthesis of atp. Synonyms: aerobic capacity, maximal o2 uptake, vo2 max. Can be tested in lab or estimated from a wide variety of field tests. Anaerobic power: rate of energy release by oxygen-independent metabolic processes. Maximal anaerobic power: maximal capacity of anaerobic systems to produce atp.
