Chasing the Power Ratio

Chasing the Power Ratio



Why we train to maximize the Power to Mass Ratio.

Power = Work over Time

Work = Force x Distance

Condition = To Modify by Training

Power involves more then just this formula entails.
Power is functional strength expressed in terms of acceleration, execution time or velocity in a given motor skill or kinetic chain rather then isolated exercise. Power is to generate/apply force, which requires other key areas of agility, speed, reaction and range of movement.

The benefits of Maximizing Power Ratio
Increasing Power means to increase other areas of motor skill and kinetic movement such as relative strength, speed, agility and range of movement. The training of these key factors goes together to increase both Aerobic and Anaerobic capacity by focusing on the interrelated Energy Systems of the Phosphagen and Fast & Slow Glycolysis.

Regardless of your Goals increasing your power ratio will aid competency in movement and performance.

In order to train for sport or life’s physical tasks the chase to maximize the Power to Mass ratio should be a goal for all.

Why Chase?
Power is elusive, it requries ongoing conditioning or its elements will decline in effectivness.

Crossfit seeks to condition the Power, Relative Strength, Aerobic and Anaerobic capacity of each individual in relation to function within their chosen environment.
