WORK AND POWER
Work is defined as the interval of the force applied during a workout. Work can simply be calculated with the equation; Work= Force * Distance. Let us consider the case of the power clean and calculate the amount of work generated during this exercise. If we have an individual who lifts 70 kilograms in a distance of 1.2m the amount of work = (70kg*9.81m/s^2)*1.2m, solving for work we get 824 Joules.


Power is defined as the amount of work done within a certain time interval. Using the example from above and given it takes 0.57 to perform a power clean power = 1,446 Watts of power.
