Professionals in strength training deal on a daily basis with physical entities such as force, speed, power and work, and use them to assess performance of their athletes and tune their training routine. These variables are related to each other through fundamental laws and principles of Physics. Knowledge of their meaning and how they correlate to each other is key for their use in resistance training. The purpose of this chapter is to provide the reader with a basic knowledge of the fundamental concepts of Mathematics, Physics and Information Theory applied to Sport Physiology, as well as a description of the working principles of the technologies used in resistance training devices and their practical implications. This knowledge is necessary for the full comprehension of practically any concept in strength training, as well as for the understanding of all the subsequent chapters of this book.
