Muscle strength is an important topic for ergonomics practitioners and physiologists to understand, especially as it relates to workplace injuries. Muscle strength and

function is at the heart of many injuries that lead to reduced productivity and economic strain on the worker, the company, and society as a whole.

This comprehensive source of information and data relating to muscle strength is the first to present such information in a single source. Muscle Strength explains the general determinants of muscle strength such

as gender, age, and muscle type. It illustrates physical data in the context of theoretical background and examines the

protocols, techniques, devices, and data used to record muscle strength in various parts of the body. This is followed by a discussion of overexertion, strength prediction, strength and endurance, torque and EMG relationship, and muscle fatigue. Finally, the material is applied to the use of muscle

in jobs, to product design, and to studies of job accommodation and the effect of disability on strength. Professionals in ergonomics, biomechanics, sports science, and physiology will find that this unique text provides insight and data on an important subject in their field.

Reviews for Muscle Strength

""Kumar has complied a vast amount of information on muscle strength into one large volume. The book is of interest to basic scientists human factors engineers, physical and occupational therapists and practicing applied ergonomists . [T]he most valuable information contained in these chapters for the experienced user is the wealth of normative data that cannot be found in a single source elsewhere."" - Ergonomics in Design, Summer 2005 ""The book is nicely produced, with good clear illustrations. [It] will have considerable appeal to those who are looking at issues of muscle force production in industry, the optimization of work stations, the prevention of workplace injuries, and the rehabilitation of older individuals."" - Canadian Journal of Applied Physiology
