Muscular endurance 
Muscular endurance RhanjitKimAngeloFerr
油
Muscular endurance is the ability of muscles to repeatedly exert force against resistance over multiple repetitions. It can be assessed through dynamic tests using a percentage of maximum strength to perform as many repetitions as possible. Common tests include the bench press and push-up tests. Accurate assessment requires controlling for client, equipment, technician, and environmental factors. A variety of muscle-specific dynamic tests are needed to fully evaluate strength and endurance.Biomechanics of Running
Biomechanics of RunningNeeti Christian
油
Running requires greater balance, muscle strength, and joint range of movement than walking. There are three phases to the running cycle: stance, swing, and float. During running, the ground reaction force can increase to 250% of body weight. The kinematics of running involve hip flexion at heel strike and extension at toe off, knee flexion during loading and extension before toe off, and ankle dorsiflexion at heel strike and plantarflexion throughout stance phase. Key muscles like gluteus maximus, hamstrings, and gastrocnemius are active at different parts of the running cycle to provide shock absorption, balance, forward propulsion, and control of changes in direction.Importance of warm up & cool down
Importance of warm up & cool downMalith De silva
油
The document discusses the importance of warm-ups and cool-downs for exercise. It states that a warm-up prepares the body for exercise by increasing muscle temperature, reducing injury risk, and activating the nervous system. A proper warm-up includes general movements, aerobic activity, and sport-specific exercises. Cool-downs are also important as they promote recovery, return the body to a pre-exercise state, and help prevent muscle soreness by keeping blood circulating to remove waste. Both warm-ups and cool-downs should last 10 minutes or longer and include light aerobic activity and static stretching.On & off field sports evaluation

Plyometric training involves explosive exercises that use the stretch-shortening cycle of muscles to improve speed, strength, and power. It works by elastic energy being stored in tendons and muscles during eccentric contractions and released during subsequent concentric contractions. A proper plyometric program considers factors like exercise mode, intensity, frequency, volume, progression over time, and safety precautions. Short-term plyometric training of 2-3 sessions per week for 4-16 weeks can improve athletic performance measures like jump height, sprinting, and agility.Sports psychology

Sports psychology is the study of how psychology influences sports performance. Some sports psychologists work with athletes to improve performance and increase motivation. Key aspects of sports psychology include awareness, focus, concentration, anxiety, confidence, and motivation. Maintaining awareness and using proper concentration techniques can optimize an athlete's performance. Both state and trait anxiety can negatively affect performance if not properly managed. Successful athletes focus on their task in the present moment rather than fearing failure. Motivation influences an athlete's effort, ability to overcome setbacks, and overall competition results.Stretching Exercises

Factor influencing strengthRekha Marbate
油
Factors that influence muscle strength include energy stores and blood supply, fatigue, recovery from exercise, age, gender, and psychological factors. Muscle requires adequate energy and blood flow to contract and resist fatigue. Fatigue occurs from repeated contractions and diminishes muscle response over time. Recovery allows oxygen and energy stores to replenish while waste is removed from 1 hour to several days after exercise depending on the factor. Strength is also affected by age, gender, and psychological states that can positively or negatively impact movement ability and effort.The diaphragm facilitation techniques

A case study example is provided of a 67-year old female stroke patient with right-sided weakness requiring ROM exercises to maintain joint flexibility. Evidence suggests simple ROM exercises can improve physical function in older stroke patients. An appropriate exercise prescription for this patient would be active-assistive ROM of both upper and lower extremities.Exercise Testing and Prescription
