Isometric Training
Strength training exercises where the muscle length does not change during contraction, commonly employed for rehabilitation and building static strength.
Periodization
Systematic planning of athletic or physical training that involves progressive cycling of various aspects of a training program during a specific period.
Progressive Overload
Gradually increasing the stress on the body during exercise to continually challenge muscles and improve strength and endurance.
Specificity
Training should be relevant and appropriate to the sport for which the individual is training in order to produce the desired effect.
Neuromuscular Adaptation
Improvements in strength and coordination are partly due to changes in the nervous system’s ability to activate muscles efficiently.
Muscle Hypertrophy
Enlargement of the cross-sectional area of muscle fibers, typically as a result of strength training, leads to increased muscle mass and strength.
Strength Endurance
The ability of muscles to sustain repeated contractions against resistance for an extended period of time.
Muscle Confusion
Changing the exercise routine periodically to keep the body from adapting, which can help continue improvement and avoid plateaus.
Eccentric Training
Focuses on lengthening the muscle under tension, which is particularly effective for building strength and muscle mass, as well as improving muscle control.
Concentric Training
Involves shortening the muscle as it contracts, commonly exemplified by the 'lifting' phase of an exercise, integral for developing explosive strength.
