Abstract

POWER IS IMPROVED THROUGH INCREASING VELOCITY OR FORCE AND IS CORRELATED WITH ATHLETIC SUCCESS IN MEN AND WOMEN ACROSS SPORT AND COMPETITIVE LEVEL. MAXIMAL FORCE CONTRIBUTES MORE TO POWER OUTPUT THAN VELOCITY. HOWEVER, WOMEN PRODUCE LESS FORCE AND GREATER VELOCITY THAN MEN WHEN COMPARED WITH SIMILAR RELATIVE INTENSITIES. THEREFORE, A MIXED-MODEL TRAINING APPROACH (MMTA) TO PROGRAMING THAT EMPHASIZES FORCE PRODUCTION MAY BE OF BENEFIT TO WOMEN. BY IMPLEMENTING EXERCISE-SPECIFIC OPTIMAL LOADS, AN MMTA MAY INCREASE POWER AND ATHLETIC SUCCESS. THE PURPOSES OF THIS ARTICLE ARE TO (A) EXPLORE SEX DIFFERENCES IN POWER, AND (B) DETERMINE THE EFFICACY OF MMTA TO PROGRAMING.
