Strength and Power Physiology

Meaning

Strength and Power Physiology is the specialized area of human physiology that rigorously examines the complex neural, muscular, and metabolic mechanisms underlying the body’s fundamental ability to generate maximal force and exert that force with maximal rapidity. Strength is defined as the maximal voluntary force a muscle can produce, while power is the calculated rate at which that force can be generated. The diligent maintenance and proactive optimization of this specific physiology are critical components of functional longevity and robust metabolic health, as muscle mass and dynamic function inevitably decline with age.
