Isometric Training

StarStarStarStar

Strength training exercises where the muscle length does not change during contraction, commonly employed for rehabilitation and building static strength.

StarStarStarStar

Periodization

StarStarStarStar

Systematic planning of athletic or physical training that involves progressive cycling of various aspects of a training program during a specific period.

StarStarStarStar

Progressive Overload

StarStarStarStar

Gradually increasing the stress on the body during exercise to continually challenge muscles and improve strength and endurance.

StarStarStarStar

Specificity

StarStarStarStar

Training should be relevant and appropriate to the sport for which the individual is training in order to produce the desired effect.

StarStarStarStar

Neuromuscular Adaptation

StarStarStarStar

Improvements in strength and coordination are partly due to changes in the nervous system’s ability to activate muscles efficiently.

StarStarStarStar

Muscle Hypertrophy

StarStarStarStar

Enlargement of the cross-sectional area of muscle fibers, typically as a result of strength training, leads to increased muscle mass and strength.

StarStarStarStar

Strength Endurance

StarStarStarStar

The ability of muscles to sustain repeated contractions against resistance for an extended period of time.

StarStarStarStar

Muscle Confusion

StarStarStarStar

Changing the exercise routine periodically to keep the body from adapting, which can help continue improvement and avoid plateaus.

StarStarStarStar

Eccentric Training

StarStarStarStar

Focuses on lengthening the muscle under tension, which is particularly effective for building strength and muscle mass, as well as improving muscle control.

StarStarStarStar

Concentric Training

StarStarStarStar

Involves shortening the muscle as it contracts, commonly exemplified by the 'lifting' phase of an exercise, integral for developing explosive strength.
