The straight-arm hang as a reliable testing instrument for young children is investigated with results indicating that it is a reliable indicator for four- and five-year-old children. Questionable results may occur if utilized for younger subjects and further investigation is recommended for six-to-nine-year-old subjects. (JD)

Forty-eight men and women were tested in grip strength and hand steadiness. There were no significant interaction effects between the sex of the experimenter and the sex of the subject on either task. (Author)

This study focuses on differences between mechanical and electrical systems used to measure static muscle strength. (JS)

Thirty-one preadolescent boys were evaluated for maximal oxygen intake, 21 anthropometric variables, static leg strength, and total body potassium. (RC)

This article discusses measurement of reflex reaction in human subjects. (JS)

The structure, fabrication, and uses of the electromyographic electrode, especially suited to the study of vigorous movements, are described, illustrated, and discussed. (JS)

It was concluded from the results of this study that a negative relationship exists between static strength and submaximal, static endurance time. (RC)

The data suggest that gastrocnemius muscle composition alone is not a determinant of shot-putting success. (MM)

The relative endurance performance of women (and low-strength men) is superior to that of high-strength men only at submaximal tension levels below the critical occluding tension level. (MM)

There is a rapid increase in strength in children and gradual decrease after early adulthood. (MM)

Within the scope of this study, the velocity or power per unit body weight exhibited by the subjects on two tests of leg power were not related to each other. (MB)

Greater control of the muscular fatigue process is afforded by regulation of energy expenditure through monitoring the rate of contraction rather than by varying the duration of contraction. (Author)

Factor analysis of performance in Olympic decathlon events reveals four basic functions expressed in sprints, throwing events, distance runs, and jumping events: running speed, explosive arm strength, running endurance, and explosive leg strength. (MJB)

Reaction times, movement times, and static strengths of the four limbs were measured and pubertal status was assessed in males and females at ages nine, 11, 13, 15, and 17 years primarily to separate the effects of sexual maturation from the associated sex and age trends. (RC)

It was concluded that the main effect of competitive swimming training is to increase muscular endurance. (MM)
