American College of Sports Medicine position stand. Progression models in resistance training for healthy adults. (2011, background): “Although any intensity can enhance muscle power and shift the force-velocity curve to the right, specificity is needed such that training encompasses a range of intensities but emphasis placed upon the intensities that match the demands of the sport or activities performed (139).”
Training Principles for Power (2012, background): “Careful inspection of each of these elements reveals that there is a strong interplay between each element with overall strength levels serving as the main driver for the ability to express high power outputs (42,58).”
Developing Maximal Neuromuscular Power (2011, background): “Throughout the literature, the load that elicits maximal power production in a specific movement is commonly referred to as the ‘optimal’ load.([24,76,109,114,127]) Training with the ‘optimal’ load provides an effective stimulus to elicit increases inmaximal power output for a specific movement as i”
