What went in, and we need some kind of explanation about the modeling you did.

Ed PistilliGUEST
This really started out as an exercise to show the students in my lab that I could actually learn coding and, and modeling.

Ed PistilliGUEST
So this is a, a, you know, and a relatively newer, uh, type of, uh, research and the students in my lab are really good at it.

Ed PistilliGUEST
So Python and R and all these programs are second nature to them, and they weren't to me.

Ed PistilliGUEST
And what I started to do was just write code to generate different curves reflecting in my mind what would be the main parameter in weightlifters that could be affected, which is rate of force development.

Ed PistilliGUEST
So if we think about rate of force development simply meaning how fast we can activate our skeletal muscle mass to produce force, and weightlifters have very high rates of force development.

Ed PistilliGUEST
That would, that's what make them explosive and makes them, you know, good at their sport.

So why you don't think it's linear? Why you think, uh, there's something e- else going on?
