The application of a force against a resistance
Static Strength: Force exerted by the neuromuscular system- while the muscle length remains the same. (Eg. a gymnast in the rings holding position) - No single test
Maximum Strength: maximum force the neuromuscular system can exert in a single voluntary muscle contraction - 1 repitition max, leg/grip dynamometer
Exposive/elastic strength: Ability to expand a maxmal amount of energy in one or a series of strong sudden high intensity movements (Eg. triple jump) - Vertical jump test
Dynamic strength: Overcome a resistance with high speed of contraction (Eg. power is needed in invasion, athletic games) - Wingate cycle test, running tests - anaerobic
Endurance strength: muscle to withstand a repeated muscle contraction (Eg. Rower) - Sit up, push up - aerobic
