Muscular Strength, Dynamic Strength,
and Static Strength
Muscular strength is the ability of a muscle or
muscle group to exert maximum force.
Dynamic strength is the force exerted by a muscle
group as a body part moves (isotonic strength).
Static strength is the force exerted against an
immovable object; movement takes not take place
(isometric strength).
Both types of strengths are best measured by tests
that require one maximum effort.

13-3
Dynamic and Static Muscular Endurance
Dynamic muscular endurance is the ability of a
muscle or muscle group to resist fatigue and to
make repeated contractions against a defined
submaximal resistance
Static muscular endurance is the ability to
maintain a certain degree of force over time.
High-resistance, low-repetition program or lowresistance, high-repetition program?
Must have some strength to develop endurance.

13-4
Muscular Power
Muscular power is the ability to generate maximum
force in the fastest possible time; ability to release
maximum muscular force in an explosive manner.
Power equal to the product of force times velocity.
Force generated by muscular strength; velocity is the
speed the force is used.
Power usually measured by some type of jump,
throw, or charge (vertical jump, shop put, or a charge
at a blocking sled).

Why Measure Muscular Strength,
Endurance, and Power?
Muscular Strength
1. Strong muscles help protect the joints; less
susceptible to sprains, strains, and other
injuries.
2. Necessary for good posture (abdominal
muscles, round shoulders, and low back pain).
3. Perform routine tasks more efficiently.
4. Increase changes for success in sports.
5. Decline in muscle strength can affect functions
such as agility, balance, and coordination

Why Measure Muscular Strength,
Endurance, and Power?
Muscular Endurance
1. Perform daily tasks better; prevent end-of-day
fatigue.
2. Maintain good posture; decrease likelihood of
back problems and muscular injury while
performing routine tasks.
Muscular Power
Often a characteristic of a good athlete, but is
rarely necessary for performing daily tasks.

Responsibilities after Measurement
• Should seek to help individuals who need to
improve
• Perform exercises on regular basis
• Children usually do not need highly
organized program; use activities that
require them to move and lift body
• Weight-training programs should be
performed minimum of two days/week
• Exercises and guidelines are provided at
conclusion of chapter

Tests of Muscular Strength and Endurance
In laboratory and rehabilitation setting,
dynamometers, cable tensiometers, and
electromechanical instruments may be used to
measure muscular strength and endurance.
Tests with Weight-Training Equipment
Handgrip, knee flexion, foot placement, and all
other considerations that may influence test
performance must be standardized.
Test must also be standardized for motivational
considerations.

13-9
Tests of Muscular Strength and Endurance
Conduct warm-up, avoid overworking, and
observe safety precautions.
American College of Sports Medicine states:
1.Participants should be familiarized with
equipment and test procedures.
2. Participants should be provided a warm-up
period.

13-10
Tests of Muscular Strength and
Endurance
ACSM (continued)
3. Standardization of performance position
should be followed for all tests.
4. Adequate rest should be provided between
tests.

13-11
Tests of Muscular Strength and Endurance
Dynamic strength measured with one repetition
maximum
(1-RM).
Relationship exists between body weight and
weight lifted; maximum weight that can be lifted
should be interpreted in relation to individual’s
weight.
Major muscle groups may be tested with the bench
press, standing press, arm curls, and leg press.

13-12
Tests of Muscular Strength and Endurance
Relative muscular endurance test - performer works
with weight that is proportionate to the maximum
strength of a particular muscle group or to body
weight
Absolute muscular endurance test - all performers
work with the same amount of weight (the weight has
no relationship to maximum strength or body weight
of the test performer)
©2013, The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All Rights Reserved
13-13
Tests of Muscular Strength and Endurance
In a test for muscular endurance, weight should be
lifted and returned without jerky movements.
A 3-second cadence may be used to encourage
continuous, smooth movement.
A fixed percentage of 70% of the maximum
strength may be used to test muscle endurance.
Health fitness – should be able to perform 12 to 15
repetitions of each of the lifts tested
Competitive athlete – should be able to perform 20
to 25 repetitions

Sit-ups and Curls-up
• Sit-ups and curl-up tests described in this
chapter emphasize speed of performance.
• Similar tests described in chapter 15.
• Few of the tests in chapter 15 require test be
performed at a specified cadence.
• Some specialists believe speed incorporates
power; cadence procedure best measures
muscular endurance.

can be propelled through space
Work power – extraneous movements are
controlled or eliminated, so that maximum effort
must be put for by muscle groups being tested.
Only three power tests presented.

Exercises to Develop Muscular
Strength and Endurance
The following guidelines should be observed when
performing exercises to develop muscular strength
and endurance.
1. Perform stretching and warm-up exercises before
attempting muscular effort.
2. Perform the exercises that provide a mild
overload first and gradually progress to the more
difficult ones.

Exercises to Develop Muscular Strength
and Endurance
Guidelines (continued)
3. Unless otherwise indicated, begin with ten

each week until the desire number is
reached.
4. Perform the exercises 3 to 5 days per week.
