3.3 Power Training

Question 1

What is the ability of the ATP and phosphoreatine (ATP-PCr) energy pathways to produce energy for muscle contraction

Answer 1

Anaerobic power

Question 2

What is it called when oxygen intake per unit of body weight & is directly correlated to performance in activities lasting 5-15 minutes

Answer 2

Aerobic Power

Question 3

What is it called when there is an amount of tension that is produced by a muscle as a feature of its length; muscle force will be difficult as the muscle lengthens or shortens

Answer 3

Length-Tension Relationship

Question 4

What is it called when there is an active stretch (eccentric contraction) of a muscle followed by an immediate shortening (concentric contraction) of that same muscle

Answer 4

Stretch-Shortening Cycle

Question 5

What is it called when there is a force-generating capacity of the muscle that depends on the contraction velocity and on whether it is an eccentric or concentric contraction

Answer 5

Force-Velocity
