Is max strength important

Been snooping around other sites?

Before the cascade of responses start, how about defining what it means to improve max strength. Is it increasing an athlete’s 1RM in a lift (squat, deadlift, clean) or is it increasing an athlete’s Fm in the muscles being used to sprint?

Is it more efficient to build this strength with sub max loads reps in 5-8 zone with 70-80% or reps in 1-3 zone with 85-95%+?
