- Muscle strength application:
- Give the definition of muscle strength and describe the mainapplications of strengthmeasurement                                                                                                         [5marks]
- Describe the main structural and functional differences betweenfusiform and pennate muscles in terms of their fibre length,velocity and force and their typical force-length andforce-velocityrelationships                                                  [5marks]
(c) Which parameter related to musclesize and structure determines muscle power? Explain why, andsummarise how O’Brien et al. (2009) demonstrate this to be the casein both adults and children, in their study titled “Strongrelationships exist between muscle volume, joint power andwhole-body external mechanical power in adults andchildrenâ€.                                                                                                                        [10marks]
