Methods of Strength
Strength Relative To Velocity
Strength training should focus on specific adaptations that meet the requirements for an athlete to perform their sport more intelligently. Every time an athlete steps into the gym to train, their training regimes need to focus all aspects of which would translate to their sport. These methods are channeled specifically to increase performance relative to explosive power, maximal strength, endurance strength, flexibility, proprioception, stress inoculation and coordination. From the perspective of these truths we can see that athletes cannot just depend on heavy strength training alone. They need to be involved in a program that implements a complete regimen of muscle actions (concentric, eccentric, isometric), training speeds, stability and intensities
​
For the majority of sports, I have determined that there are four truths when considering developing strength
and sports performance goals. There four distinctive methods are (Dynamic, Maximum, Repetition Effort, Functional) in which are use.
​
Max Effort Method - peak muscle contractions by recruiting the most motor units under a maximal stimulus
Dynamic Effort Method - Fast rate of force motor unit development for acceleration and speed strength
​
Repetition Effort Method - The stimulation of muscle hypertrophy, Lactate tolerance training in submaximal effort worked in repetitions to a near fatigued state
​
Functional Effort Method -The reconnection to our natural human biology from overcompensating, dysfunctional patterns with the use of corrective movement pattern
​
Absolute Strength - the maximum amount of force exerted, regardless of muscle or body size
Relative Strength - the amount of strength to body size, or how strong you are for your size
Explosive Strength - acceleration rate of force development, or the neuromuscular system's ability to generate high action velocities
Speed strength - the ability to produce the greatest possible impulse with submaximal loads in the shortest time
Strength speed - the ability to move a heavier load as fast s possible in the shortest time
Strength endurance - the specific form of strength displayed in activities which require a relatively long duration of muscle tension with minimal decrease in efficiency
​
Power endurance - the ability of muscles to contract at or near maximum for a greater amount of time
Isometric strength - an impulse in which the joint angle and muscle length do not change during contraction
​
Quasi-isometric strength - an impulse in which muscles not strictly isometric contract in motion for many tens of seconds under load.
