|
Definition
4-6 months of progressive RT experience
attained some notable increasese in strength |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
at least 1 year of consistent progressive RT
substantial level of adaptation |
|
|
Term
| elite strength/power individual |
|
Definition
ranks very highly in one or more componenets of fitness
high skill level |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
ability of the neuromuscular system to generate force
dependent on the nervous system's ability to recruit motor units and contractile capabilities of the muscle fibers |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
increased by performing greater work in the same amount of time or by performing the same work in less time
neuromuscular contributions include maximal rate of force development, muscular strength at slow and fast contraction velocities, stretch-shortening cycle performance, and coordination of movement pattern and skill |

|
Term
|
Definition
| high-volume phases, usually lasting a few weeks; designed to enhance sport-specific fitness an associated physiological parameters |
|
|
Term
| special or specific preparation (SP) |
|
Definition
| relatively high volume training in which the exercises are more specific to the activity in terms of movement pattern and velocity |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| intensity factors are adjusted in keeping with the characteristics of the sport; low volume training and high intensity training |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| short phase generally characterized by a low volume of training while maintaining sport-specific intensitites; the last few days before competition, both the volume and intensity are reduced to promote recovery |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| volume and intensity are decreased markedly to facilitate recovery from the training cycle; usually lasts about 1 week |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| begins with cycle of heavy strength training followd by speed-strength training or a combination of heavy training with hihg-power or high-speed training |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| water is constantly moving during performance of the exercise and provides an active rather than static response |
