Athletic Training and Performance Analysis

As a sports performance analyst, you’re studying how different variables affect athletic performance. You’re analyzing three key relationships:

  1. The relationship between training time and muscle strength gains
  2. The relationship between the number of people sharing workout equipment and individual exercise time
  3. How an athlete’s power output depends on both their muscle mass and movement speed

Let’s explore these relationships using variation principles to optimize training programs.
