With force (load) represented on the Y-axis and velocity (meters/second) represented on the X-axis, you can see plainly how the variables interact to result in differing amounts of power output. The highest levels of force will occur with larger training loads, but at lower speeds. The peak velocity outputs will occur at high speed but with low load. When it comes to generating peak levels of power, you must balance this equation, selecting just the right load that will allow you to produce the absolute highest expression of power. The exercises described in this chapter should be taking place at the apex of this curve, as demonstrated in figure 5.1. Activities like sprinting and plyometrics would occur on the far right side of the curve where speed of movement is greatest, while the strength training exercises covered later in this book would take place on the far left side of the curve where the force production is the greatest.
