Factors affecting strength
- muscle composition
- the greater the...
- % of fast twitch
muscles fibres
- x-sectional
area of the
muscle
- muscle size
- ...the greater the
potential force that
can be generated or
applied
- the greater the...
- gender
- little difference in strength
between males and females,
but...
- females generally have
less muscle mass,
x-sectional area and
muscle mass
- they have less testosterone than men
- ...therefore female
strength is generally
lower
- little difference in strength
between males and females,
but...
- age
- female peak strength around
16-25yrs, male 18-30yrs
- greatest gains =
20-30yrs= peak
testosterone levels
- strength decreases with
age due to decreasing
testosterone
- less muscle mass, less
efficient neuromusclar
system
- female peak strength around
16-25yrs, male 18-30yrs
- physical inactivity
- atrophy =
decrease in
muscle size
- 48 hours of inactivity
- induces loss of muscle
strength gained from
training
- reversibility
- atrophy =
decrease in
muscle size
- strength training
- specific strength training
- increase hypertophy,
decreases atrophy
- specific strength training
- the weakest point in
the range of motion
- specific to relative angle
of the joint
- specific to relative angle
