#Repost @chrisabeardsley (@get_repost) ・・・ What determines muscular strength remains a very controversial question, even among sports scientists. Clearly muscle size plays a role, but exactly how big a role remains quite unclear. This study adds to the current picture by showing that 1️⃣muscle size can predict a proportion of the inter-individual variability in muscle strength (between untrained subjects), and that 2️⃣ the inter-individual variability in specific tension (which is strength normalized for muscle size, voluntary activation, and other known influential factors) is still very high. In fact, the inter-individual variability in specific tension is only about 4.4% less than the inter-individual variability in maximum isometric strength. So some people clearly just have stronger muscles than others, even when adjusted for the factors that we know about... -------------------- #sandcresearch #strengthandconditioning #strengthtraining #strength #sportsscience #biomechanics #research #performance #science #infographic #infographics #hypertrophy #muscle #gains #gain #fit #gymlife #athlete #specifictension
