The goal of the Power Level within the OPT model is to

• A. Increase the speed of movement
• B. Build maximal muscle mass
• C. Improve flexibility
• D. Increase VO2 max

Answer: (D)

Power Level focuses on increasing the rate of force production, which shows up as faster, more explosive movements and greater power output. This aim means training that emphasizes speed in the concentric phase and explosive effort, helping you generate force quickly. It is not primarily about building maximal muscle mass, improving flexibility, or raising aerobic capacity. Increased VO2 max targets endurance, while hypertrophy aims at size, and mobility work focuses on range of motion. So the best description is accelerating movement speed through rapid, powerful contractions.
