  power = strength + speed
• reaction time


  the time between a stimulus and the onset of the movement
• speed


  the time which it takes to preform a movement or to cover a distance in a period of time
• why cool down?


  because it disperses lactic acid - which is released during exercise
• why warm up?


  - prevent injury

  - improve performance

• individual needs


  matching training to the requirements of individual
• specificity


  matching training to the requirements of an activity
• progressive overload


  to gradually increase the amount of overload so that fitness gains occur, but without potential for injury
• rest


  the period of tie allowed for recovery
