The Secondary Sub-Qualities of Strength

The secondary sub-qualities of strength include:

1. Stabilization strength
2. Core strength
3. Functional strength

Stabilization strength

The ability of the kinetic chain’s stabilizing muscles to provide optimal dynamic joint stabilization and maintain postural equilibrium during functional movements. This in turn allows for optimum recruitment of prime movers, increasing force production and force reduction.

Core Strength

The ability of the core musculature to control and stabilize the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex. This improves functional strength and neuromuscular efficiency of the entire kinetic chain.

Functional Strength

The ability of the neuromuscular system to produce dynamic, multi-planer eccentric, isometric stabilization and concentric contractions quickly and efficiently during functional movements.
