Muscle
Muscle action - no movement
isometric
The ability of a muscle to exert submaximal force over time.
Muscular endurance
As %1RM increases, this decreases.
Repetitions possible
This model divides the body into fat mass and fat-free mass.
Two-Component
These machines use cams or pulleys to match the strength curve and reduce sticking points.
Variable Resistance Machines
Muscle action that shortens
Concentric
This device measures static muscular strength of the hand and forearm.
Handgrip Dynamometer
This equation represents total work (volume) performed in resistance training.
Sets X Reps X Load
Body Mass / Body Volume
Body Density
Technique that estimates body density from total body fatness
Skinfold
Muscle action - active lengthening, as in lowering
Eccentric
This type of testing uses trial and error to determine maximal strength.
1RM testing
The qualatative component of the resistance training work - which letter of FITT-VP
Intensity
No body composition method directly measures this
Body Fat
This type of equipment is best for determining true 1-RM strength.
Free Weights
This type of muscle action involves constant movement speed, typically using specialized equipment.
Isokinetic
High specificity is a pro and con of this type of strength testing
Static or Isometric Testing
Large before small, compound before single, describes this component of a exercise Rx
Exercise Order
This method measures body volume using air displacement
BOD POD
This principle states that strength gains occur primarily at the joint angle trained.
Specificity
This term describes variable tension caused by changing velocity and joint angles during free weight lifting.
Auxotonic
Inverse relationship between speed and strength
Force-Velocity Relationship
Influenced by both strength and endurance, this form of muscular fitness represents the rate that a muscle can perform work.
Muscular Power
This method is considered least valid among common body composition techniques.
BIA (bioelectrical impedance analysis)
Underwater wieghing, BOD POD, and Skinfold analysis are this type of density based BF% assesment technique.
Densiometric
