Strength -It is the ability of the muscle to overcome resistance |
Types → Dynamic, Static |
|
Dynamic Strength
|
- Dynamic As it is related to movement due to this.
Types of Dynamic strength. a) maximum b) Explosive C) Static Endurance |
- it is called as Isotonic strength.
|
- There is diminishing tendency in dynamic strength, after certain count muscles refuse to do work not even/pushup/pullups.
|
- Types of Dynamic strength. a) maximum b) Explosive c) Static Endurance
|
|
Maximum Strength
|
- Ability to work against maximum resistance not used in majority of sports where heavy resistance is tackled
|
- This type of strength is required for short period of time
|
- Ex → Take off in long Jump,
|
|
Explosive strength
|
- It is the ability to overcome resistance with high speed.
|
- We can say that it is a combination of abilities of strength and speed.
|
- It is mostly used in Sprint starts, Weightlifting.
|
|
Strength Endurance
|
- As understandable from its name it is a combination of endurance.
|
- We can say that it is the ability to overcome resistance or to act against resistance under condition of fatigue.
|
- Generally used in long distance races
|
|
Static strength
|
- also called isometric strength
|
- Also it is the act against resistance.
|
- Neither this type of strength is used nor usually applied in sports but in weightlifting it is used in phases.
|
|
Methods to improve Strength |
- Three methods 1) isometric 2) isotonic 3) Isokinetic
|
|
Isometric- |
- this exercise is not visible therefore cannot be observed.
|
- In thus work is performed but not seen directly.
|
- A group of muscles are stretched more than the other group of muscles.
|
- During exercise muscles do not change their length.
|
- Muscles may feel a slight tremor if exercises done for a long duration of time.
|
- We feel that we had done lots of exercise but scientifically it is zero but the expenditure of exercise is same.
|
|
- These exercise require less time and can be performed anywhere.
|
- Zero or no equipment is required to do these exercise.
|
- For rehabilitation purpose this exercise are so valuable.
|
|
Isotonic |
- in this movement can be seen directly
|
- work is done in these exercise
|
|
- muscles become flexible and length can be increased by these exercise
|
- have a great value in the field of sports
|
- can be done with or without technical equipment
|
- for Ex – Calisthenics exercise, weight training etc. best examples
|
|
Isokinetic – |
- develop by Perrine in 1968
|
- these exercise are performed on specially designed machines
|
- In this contraction of muscles applies maximum force only throughout complete range of movement
