Muscle Power Lab Essay

Sam Mager
After completing the muscle power lab, I have concluded that I used the most
power on the stair climber exercise, in which I used 286.4 watts of power. The
exercise that I used the least amount of power for was the tricep extensions, in
which I used only 3.5 watts of power. I think that certain muscle groups used more
power than others because of the amount of weight that was being used. For
example, in the tricep extension exercise, only 176.4 Newtons were being used,
while in the stair climber exercise, my whole body weight of 608.6 Newtons were
being used. This activity will help me in the future when I am exercising. I will now
know which exercises and best for certain muscles. This will make my workouts
more effective.
