The common definition is "the ability to exert a force against a resistance". The strength needed for a sprinter to explode from the blocks is different to the strength needed by a weight lifter to lift a 200kg barbell. This therefore implies that there are different types of strength.
Classifications of strength
·
Maximum strength - the greatest
force that is possible in a single maximum contraction
·
Elastic strength - the ability
to overcome a resistance with a fast contraction
·
Strength endurance - the
ability to express force many times over
