Muscle strength provides a very important role in overall athletic performance with it thought to have a great impact in enhancing general skills such as jumping, sprinting and allowing an increase in power while also helping decrease the risk of injury [7].

Muscle strength and power are neuromuscular variables that affect performance in many athletic movements. To perform these movements, anaerobic energy release often determines the outcome of the movements, such as who sprints the fastest or jumps the highest.

Anaerobic power is the result of strength and speed combined and refers to the ability of the neuromuscular system being able to produce the greatest possible impulse in a given time period. It is possible that by increasing the available force through muscular strength that acceleration and speed may improve [8].
