Training intended to improve the ability to produce force quickly.
Why Power training matters
Power matters for jumping, sprinting, throwing and many sporting actions and is best trained while relatively fresh.
A practical example
Performing a small number of explosive medicine-ball throws with full recovery.
Common mistake
Using heavy fatigue circuits that make each repetition slower.
Keep the context in mind.
Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.
Personalised coaching
Apply the principle to your own training.
A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
