Ch. 10 Monitoring in the Weight Room

Determine question, collect data, evaluate, apply, confirm, reevaluate

Monitoring Process

Shotgun Approach

testing too many things without a purpose

Test Familiarization

Practicing a test before official testing

1RM

Maximum weight lifted one time

Isometric Test

Force production without movement

Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull (IMTP)

mimics 2nd pull of barbell clean and Lift for 3 to 5 seconds

Isokinetic Test

Strength test with controlled movement speed

Mean Force

Average force during a movement

Peak Force

Highest force during a movement

Reactive Strength Index (RSI)

jump height divided by ground contact time

Impulse Formula

Force x Time

Mechanical Work Formula

Force x Distance

Velocity-Based Training (VBT)

Training based on movement velocity

Power Formula

Force x Velocity

Rate of Force Development (RFD)

How quickly force is produced

Acute Chronic Workload Ratio

Measure training load (volume-load); past loads vs previous training periods

Training Monotony

Lack of variation in training

Autoregulated Progressive Resistance Exercise

when weight room activity is not strictly controlled by S&C coach

Heart Rate Variability (HRV)

Variation in time between heartbeats

Effect Size

Magnitude of an effect or difference
