Key points The power‐asymptote (critical power; CP) of the hyperbolic power–time
relationship for high‐intensity exercise defines a threshold between steady‐state and non …

The asymptote [critical power (CP)] and curvature constant (W′) of the hyperbolic power-
duration relationship can predict performance within the severe-intensity exercise domain …

The hyperbolic form of the power-duration relationship is rigorous and highly conserved
across species, forms of exercise and individual muscles/muscle groups. For modalities …

In human locomotion the ability to generate and sustain power output is of fundamental
importance. This review examines the implications for power output of having variability in …

When muscles contract, chemical energy is converted into mechanical en ergy and heat,
physical quantities necessary for locomotion, circulation, digestion, respiration, reproduction …

The duration that exercise can be maintained decreases as the power requirements
increase. In this review, we describe the power–duration (PD) relationship across the full …

New Findings What is the central question of this study? Is the magnitude of neuromuscular
fatigue dependent upon exercise intensity above critical power (CP) when W′(the …

The effect of temperature on skeletal muscle ATP turnover and muscle fiber conduction
velocity (MFCV) was studied during maximal power output development in humans. Eight …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of traditional resistance training
equipment in the measurement of muscular power. This was accomplished by measuring …

Maximal muscular power production is of fundamental importance to human functional
capacity and feats of performance. Here, we present a synthesis of literature pertaining to …
