- The ability of the nervous system to activate the muscle mass
- The ability to generate as much force as fast as possible
- The maximal amount of tension or force that a muscle can voluntarily exert in one maximal effort
- The ability of muscle or muscle group to perform repeated contractions against resistance or maintain an isometric contraction for a period of time (correct)
What factor affects strength by causing a decrease due to deterioration in muscle mass?
What factor affects strength by causing a decrease due to deterioration in muscle mass?
- Age (correct)
- Type of Muscle Contraction
- The Speed of Muscle Contraction
- Sex
What is the relationship between muscle power, strength, and speed?
What is the relationship between muscle power, strength, and speed?
- $ ext{Power} = ext{Strength} imes ext{Speed}$ (correct)
- $ ext{Power} = rac{ ext{Speed}}{ ext{Strength}}$
- $ ext{Power} = ext{Strength} + ext{Speed}$
- $ ext{Power} = rac{ ext{Strength}}{ ext{Speed}}$
