Strength

’Strength’ is the source of much debate in Sports Science circles, as it is not easy to define. Rather than simply being an ability to move a load from one position to another, strength can be measured and defined in many ways. A person may have a great strength to weight ratio, but not be able to lift a heavy load, for example.
As a very general term, strength can be defined as ‘the ability of the neuromuscular system to produce force’.
