Which of the following tests is NOT used to measure strength in the study methodology?
Sprint and COD: Loaded CMJ
What is the purpose of the study methodology?
To design training interventions for power
Which muscles are challenged more in the bench press with a wider grip?
Pecs
According to McLaughlin et. Al., what is the difference between the average bar paths of novice lifters and elite lifters?
Elite lifters have a more consistent bar path
Why can you bench press more than dumbbell press?
Because the bench press allows for better leverage
What are the parameters that determine maximal muscular power according to the force-velocity relationship?
