Muscle Strength (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Kumar, Shrawan

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Providing coverage of all aspects of physical muscle strength, this book explains the general determinants of muscle strength, such as gender, age, and muscle type. It illustrates the physical manifestation in the context of the theoretical background, delineates the protocols, techniques, and devices used for recording muscle strength in various parts of the body, and discusses the data obtained. The editorial panel explores overexertion, strength prediction, strength and endurance, torque and EMG relationship, and muscle fatigue. They apply the information to the use of muscle in jobs, to product design, and to studies of job accommodation and the effect of disability on strength.
