Answer 2

Maximum strength is the capability of the muscle to act against maximum resistance and overcome it. (Option b)

• Explosive, maximum, speed and relative strength are different types of strength one can develop through strength training.
• Maximum strength is the maximum force one can produce.
• This is possible only by engaging all the motor units in the body.
• Therefore, the potential of the muscles to use all motor units to generate high tension against maximum resistance is called maximum strength.
• Increasing maximum strength can increase the strength and density of bones.
• It can also increase the hormones essential for muscle building and thus improve the person's total performance.
