Kinematic and Kinetic Chains

June 1, 2017

Article

The importance of recognizing a closed-chain activity lies in the fact that the motions of multiple joints are coupled. Weakness at any one joint will consequently limit performance of the entire movement.

Neural Contributions to Muscle Growth

June 1, 2017

Article

Neural adaptations help mediate growth-related processes and the early increase in strength is attributable mainly to improved neural function. Along with neural changes, various aspects of the protein metabolism in the muscle are changing in the early phases of training.

Functional and Nonfunctional Overreaching and Overtraining

June 1, 2017

Article

If manipulation of the training variables is not tailored correctly to the desired adaptations and specific training goals, an athlete can experience symptoms of nonfunctional overreach. If this process continues, the athlete can develop overtraining syndrome.

Design of Endurance Resistance Training

February 2, 2024

Article

This excerpt briefly explains the steps to create a resistance training plan for endurance athletes.

Measurement of Power

June 1, 2017

Article

It is important for coaches to understand the relationship between commonly measured variables (e.g., displacement, velocity, and force) and their relationship to the derived variable of power.
