StrengthThursday 5th May9am – 11am
Today’s lessonAim:To know and understand strengthObjectivesTo list and describe the different types of strengthTo discuss and complete ways to test and train for strengthTo explain the factors that affect strength and training
What are the different types of strength?M---m-l St-e---hMaximal strength: maximum force produced in a single muscular contractionE --lo---e StrengthExplosive strength: or power, a combination of speed and strengthStrength E--------Strength Endurance: the ability to sustain a number of muscular contractions over a period of time
Two more dimensionsThere are a further two dimensions to categorise strengthStatic strengthDynamic strength What might these two types of strength describe?Static … force exerted against a resistance but no movementDynamic …force exerted causing change in body positionCan you think of an example of each??
Examples of strengthStatic						… handstandDynamic					… backflip
Get scribbling on your whiteboardQuestion: What factors might affect strength?
Factors affecting strengthYour genetic muscle fibre type dictates your strengthpotential and the percentage you have within your muscles.Why? DiscussAlso the cross-sectional area of the muscle determines itsstrength output.What is it called when the x-sectional area increases in size?
What else makes us strong?Age		optimum age for strength is in our …… twenties Gender	there is no difference in pure muscle tissue 			between females and malesSo why are males stronger?	higher testosterone levels
Energy systemsThe predominant energy system being used will depend on the type of strength being utilisedTASK (5 minutes)Can you think of examples from sport?Discuss this point together
Energy systems
Match the Adaptations
Resistance training increases total number of motor units recruited and improved synchronisation.Neural Adaptations
Get your whiteboards readyQuestion: What have you remembered from today!
The body’s ability to apply a forceWhatis the above sentence describing?… the maximum force thatcan be developed in a muscle or group of muscles during a single maximal contraction
Maximum strengthWhich example would you choose for maximum strength?	  A			     B			       C             A				B			       C
Right answer is …BThe judo throw requires overcome of a very large force
Elastic strengthWhich example would you choose for elastic strength?	  A			    B			       C             A				B			       C
Right answer is …AThe gymnast needs explosive strength in a sequence
Strength enduranceWhich example would you choose for strength endurance?	  A			    B			       C             A				B			       C
Right answer is …ARowing requires repeated contractions without fatigue
TaskYou are now going to research one type of strengthHow to test for itHow to train for itGary – maximal strengthCharlotte – explosive strengthChris – strength enduranceTesting and Training for different types of strength
Testing and Training for different types of strength
