The Importance of Muscular Strength in Athletic Performance
TL;DR: It appears that there may be no substitute for greater muscular strength when it comes to improving an individual’s performance across a wide range of both general and sport specific skills while simultaneously reducing their risk of injury when performing these skills.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Importance of Muscular Strength: Training Considerations
TL;DR: This review covers underlying physiological characteristics and training considerations that may affect muscular strength including improving maximal force expression and time-limited force expression as well as how initial strength affects an athlete’s ability to improve their performance following various training methods.
