At what intensity is strength training typically recommended for tactical athletes?

The recommended intensity for strength training among tactical athletes falls within the range of 70 to 90 percent of their one-repetition maximum (1RM). This intensity is deemed effective because it strikes a balance between building strength and power while also allowing for enhancements in muscular endurance, which is critical for tactical performance.

Training at this intensity promotes neuromuscular adaptations, increases muscle hypertrophy, and contributes to overall athletic performance, which is essential for tactical athletes who often require explosive strength in addition to muscular endurance for their demanding activities. In contrast, lower intensity levels may not provide adequate stimulus to achieve these adaptations. Thus, working at 70 to 90 percent of 1RM is aligned with the goals and requirements of tactical training.
