Factors Influence

Strength
•Nervous System
•Muscle Fibers
• Muscle Attachment points
•Body proportions
•Frame Size
•Genetics
 The neuromuscular system
goes through a cycle when
How Nervous developing strength: Teach the
brain to fire correct muscles to
System Influence contract with a new
Strength movement, add resistance,
recruit more muscle fibers to
oppose the resistance, build
strength and adapt to the
resistance, increase the
complexity or resistance, and
repeat
 How Muscle Strength training induces
hypertrophy, which is the
Fibers Influence increase of the cross-sectional
Strength area of a muscle fiber.
 Conventional wisdom holds that body
proportions affect your ability to excel
at certain lifts. For example, athletes
How Antropometry with short arms and large chests are
believed to be better at bench press,
(Body Proportions) while athletes with shorter legs relative
Influence Strength to their height are better at squats. And
athletes with longer arm lengths
relative to their legs are better at
deadlifts.
 The most obvious anatomical
factor that influences strength
is the amount of skeletal
How Frame Size muscle on the body. Muscles
Influence produce force, so the more
muscle you have, the more
Strength force you can produce and the
stronger you are.
 Genetics impacts all areas of
fitness and performance, including
muscles and strength. From
How Genetics sprinters who have genes allowing
them to develop more fast-twitch
Influence Strength muscle fiber to endurance runners
with genetics dictating muscle
contraction speeds, genes
determine our abilities to some
degree
 Your musculoskeletal system
provides stability and produces
movement using different types of
How Muscle levers. These levers follow the
same laws of physics that govern
Attachment Points
the use of many tools like
Influence Strength wrenches, wheelbarrows, and
shovels. We won’t get into the
physics of levers, but it’s pretty
easy to grasp the concept.
