The document discusses different types of strength including maximal strength, explosive strength, and strength endurance. It describes maximal strength as the maximum force produced in a single muscular contraction and explosive strength as a combination of speed and strength. Strength endurance is defined as the ability to sustain muscular contractions over time. Static strength is exerting force against resistance with no movement, while dynamic strength is exerting force to cause a change in body position. Factors like muscle fiber type, cross-sectional muscle area, age, gender, and energy systems used can affect strength. The document tasks students with researching how to test for and train different types of strength.

4. Two more dimensions There are a further two dimensions to categorise strength Static strength Dynamic strength What might these two types of strength describe? Static … force exerted against a resistance but no movement Dynamic …force exerted causing change in body position Can you think of an example of each??

5. Examples of strength Static … handstand Dynamic … backflip

6. Get scribbling on your whiteboard Question: What factors might affect strength?

7. Factors affecting strength Your genetic muscle fibre type dictates your strength potential and the percentage you have within your muscles. Why? Discuss Also the cross-sectional area of the muscle determines its strength output. What is it called when the x-sectional area increases in size?

8. 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 males So why are males stronger? higher testosterone levels

9. Energy systems The predominant energy system being used will depend on the type of strength being utilised TASK (5 minutes) Can you think of examples from sport? Discuss this point together
