Based on this it cannot be concluded that muscle weakness, operationalized as maximal strength, caused the adaptations in gait dynamics.
Reliability of maximal strength testing in older adults.
Grip strength of the injured side was measured and reported as a percentage of maximal strength of the contralateral side.
Is maximal strength of the cervical flexor muscles reduced in patients with temporomandibular disorders?
In this study, light super-slow lifting at 55-60 percent of the participants one rep max (1RM) increased both muscle thickness and maximal strength just as much as heavy normal-speed training performed at 80-90 percent of 1RM.
The minimal strength Fmin corresponded to the 10% of the maximal strength Fmax (R = 0,1).
Maximal strength was assessed by 1 repetition maximum (1RM) tests and a maximal isometric voluntary contraction (MVC).
Another explanation may lie with the dependence on maximal strength as a good determinant of explosive strength.
Our data showed that men gradually gained maximal strength in the fifth decade, and showed decreased strength in the sixth.
All SEM and SDD values are additionally presented as a percentage of the mean maximal strength.
