Abstract

Abstract -Traditional methods of normalization of muscle strength (MS) and muscle torque (MT) have been considered inadequate to properly adjust the effects of body mass in children and adults. Allometry has proved to be the most efficient method to compare individuals of different body dimensions. However, the values that the allometric exponent may show for MS and MT are still controversial and depend on many factors related to body composition, sex, age, type of contraction, and type of sport. Muscle volume (MV) has been suggested as the emerging variable for normalization of MS and MT.
