The relationship between maximum isometric strength and intramuscular circulatory occlusion

BARNES, WILLIAM S.·1980·Ergonomics

Abstract

Twenty male college students served as subjects for lhe study which investigated the relationship between maximum isometric strength and the isometric tension necessary to produce total occlusion of intramuscular circulation. Subjects performed a scries of progressively increasing static contractions by squeezing a hand dynamometer and the subsequent blood flow responses were measured. Blood flow was occluded at a mean of 63-5% maximum handgrip strength for the total group tested. To determine whether individuals of different maximum strength occlude at different percentages of their MVC, subjects were divided into high and low strength groups. The high strength group was found to occlude at 51-5% of MVC while the low strength group occluded at 75-5% of MVC. A significant negative correlation (r= -0.58) was found between maximum isometric strength and the per cent of maximum strength necessary to produce intra-muscular occlusion. There was no significant difference between the absolute tension producing occlusion in the high strength group (34-8 kg) and that of the low strength group (34 3 kg).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
