Abstract:
This chapter presents the basic properties of muscle force (force-length and force-velocity properties), the types of muscle action (eccentric – concentric), the role of lever arms and muscle architecture for muscle force generation. This is followed by the definition of isometric evaluation of muscle force and the presentation of the basic elements of an isometric strength assessment protocol, the main variables and measurement errors, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of this method. Also ahe presentation of isokinetic dynamometry and a presentation of the basic elements of an isokinetic strength assessment protocol are placed, the main variables and potential measurement errors, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of this method.
