Reliability analyses and values of isometric shoulder flexion and trunk extension strengths stratified by body mass index
by Lora A. Cavuoto, Mojdeh Pajoutan, Ranjana K. Mehta
The main goal of this study was to investigate the reliability of muscle strength across different levels of obesity. A sample of 142 healthy subjects performed maximum voluntary isometric contractions for shoulder flexion and trunk extension on each of four days. Subjects were recruited into one of three groups, non-obese, overweight, or obese, based on body mass index (BMI). Reliability of the strength measurements within each session... Читать дальше...
