Developing Maximal Neuromuscular Power (2011, background): “This assertion is supported by the robust relationship that exists between maximal strength and maximal power production as well as countless empirical observations of the differences in strength and power capabilities between elite and sub-elite athletes.([2-9]) Cross-sectional comparisons have rev”
