Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The purpose of the current study was to investigate the differences in strength and power between playing positions and starters versus non-starters. Division III post-season male American football players (N = 38) participated in a descriptive study that consisted of strength, power, and dynamic performance variable testing. Subjects were grouped depending on playing position (skill, big skill, or line) and into starters and non-starters. Subjects completed a 3-repetition maximum hexagonal barbell deadlift to determine strength capabilities. Power output was assessed using a hexagonal barbell jump at 30, 40, 50, 60, and 70% of estimated 1RM. Dynamic performance variables consisted of depth jumps, to calculated ground contact time, jump height and reactive strength index, and 5, 10, 30m sprint capability. A statistically significant (p
