CSCS Daily Practice Question #125
SCENARIO: An athlete completes 5 sets of 5 reps with 300 lbs in 20 minutes. Another athlete completes the same 5×5 with 300 lbs in 35 minutes. Assuming identical range of motion, which athlete developed greater power output, and what does this imply for program structure?
A. The first athlete developed greater power because the same work was completed in less time; program structure must account for rest periods and pace to optimize power
B. Both developed equal power because work and load are identical
C. The second athlete developed greater power due to longer time under tension
Answer in the poll, then explain your rationale below in the comments! I'll follow up with my breakdown of the question after enough people have responded.
From Chapter 2: Biomechanics of Resistance Exercise
