increase in strength
21Muscle memory (strength training) — For the term muscle memory as related to motor learning, see Muscle memory. Muscle memory has been used to describe the observation that various muscle related tasks seem to be easier to perform after previous practice, even if the task has not… …
22Specific strength — The specific strength is a material strength divided by its density. It is expressed in newton metres per kilogram, and is used for tensile strength as for compressive strength. It is sometimes known as the strength to weight ratio. Materials… …
23Total ionic strength adjustment buffer — A Total Ionic Strength Adjustment Buffer ( TISAB ) is a buffer solution which increases the ionic strength of a solution to a relatively high level. This is important for potentiometric measurements, including ion selective electrodes, because… …
24Shear strength — in engineering is a term used to describe the strength of a material or component against the type of yield or structural failure where the material or component fails in shear. In structural and mechanical engineering the shear strength of a… …
25Loss of Strength Gradient — The Loss of Strength Gradient (LSG) was devised by Kenneth Boulding in 1962. He argued that the amount of a nation’s military power that could be brought to bear in any part of the world depended on geographic distance. The Loss of Strength… …
26Breast Cancer Network of Strength — The Breast Cancer Network of Strength (formerly known as Y ME National Breast Cancer Organization, or Y ME) [cite web|url=http://www.networkofstrength.org/media/releases/brand release.pdf|title=Y ME National Breast Cancer Organization announces… …
27EMC problem (excessive field strength) — In electromagnetic compatibility,EMC problems can occur when the system which is being adversely affected is subject to a high field strength due to a radio transmitter. It is important to note that these effects are not due to defects in the… …
28metallurgy — metallurgic, metallurgical, adj. metallurgically, adv. metallurgist /met l err jist/ or, esp. Brit., /meuh tal euhr jist/, n. /met l err jee/ or, esp. Brit., /meuh tal euhr jee/, n. 1. the technique or science of working or heating metals so as… …
29Polymer — Appearance of real linear polymer chains as recorded using an atomic force microscope on surface under liquid medium. Chain contour length for this polymer is 204 nm; thickness is 0.4 nm.[1] A polymer is a large molecule (macromolecule …
30Weight training — This article is about strength training using weight (gravity) to generate resistance to contraction. For basic principles on increasing the strength of muscles, see strength training. A complete weight training workout can be performed with a… …
