ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE TRAINING
research has borne out that maximal strength values are attained at the knee and hip, joints at 120 and 155 degrees
respectively. Now then, we also
that the full knee extension is 180 degrees. Applying the previous explanation, we can see that the shortest distance between the axis of joint rotation and the line of muscle action acts as a true muscle force arm
1.

WHAT IN THE HECK DOES IT ALL MEAN?

Okay, now the cool part! Let's take all that info from above, pull it out of the proverbial
shopping cart and see what we can come up with.

An athlete's force versus their body position in an ascending strength curve is determined by the length of the muscle and muscle force arm (bear with me here!). We can now say that, by reaching full extension of the ankle, knee and hip an athlete can do the following:

Generate maximal strength thereby generating maximal force! There you have it; Triple Extension.

The best example of this would be if you jumped straight up in the air as if
