Down
- 1. the ability of your muscles (or group of muscles) to continually exert force against resistance or a given movement

- 6. occurs when the muscle length is shortened during a contraction
- 7. strength in the core region of the human body
- 8. when you gradually increase the load or stress that's placed on your muscles during strength training and workouts.
- 9. increases muscle strength by making your muscles work against a weight or force
- 12. occurs when a force applied to the muscle exceeds the momentary force produced by the muscle itself
