Good Health: The Power of Power

Corbin, Charles B., Janz, Kathleen F., Baptista, Fátima·2017·Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance

Abstract

Power has long been considered to be a skill-related fitness component. However, based on recent evidence, a strong case can be made for the classification of power as a health-related fitness component. Additionally, the evidence indicates that performing physical activities that build power is associated with the healthy development of bones (e.g., enhanced bone mass and architecture, reduced fracture risk) and muscles. Tests of power are good proxy measures for bone health, and the evidence provides support for including measures of power in health-related fitness test batteries for youth. The current research literature also supports the inclusion of physical activities that build power in school physical education and athletic programs, community programs, and programs for adults, including older adults.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
