Work done against resistance equals distance times force.
Detail
The source defines work done (against resistance) as:
Work done (resistance) = Distance × Force
This is the physiological definition; it underpins the power formula (power = work / time). Program-design materials may reference it, but the physiological definition is owned here.
Key facts
- Work done (resistance) = Distance × Force.
- Forms the numerator of power (Power = (force × distance) / time).
Connections
- muscular-power — power = work / time.
- muscular-strength — force, the maximal version of which is strength.
