The OPT Model - Power Level

In my final posting about the OPT model, I will discuss the third level - Power. This level consists of one phase called power training. Individuals who have successfully completed training programs at the previous four phases (in the Stabilization and Strength levels) can progress to power training. This phase of training emphasizes the development of speed and power. Not every individual will decide to progress to this level, but it is a good application for those who are athletes or who want to improve their performance in a variety of sports. Exercise combinations in the strength level of training often incorporate supersets of a traditional strength exercise followed by a power exercise.
