Accuracy of Force Repeatability in Relation to its Value and the Subjects’ Sex

Abstract

AbstractThe purpose of the study was to determine the influence of force value and sex on force generation repeatability.The total of 17 female and 24 male students performed 3 maximal voluntary contractions for maximal force (FThe force generation repeatability rose with the increase of triggered force in both sexes; between force target 49 N vs. 98 N and 147 N (The influence of force value and a minor influence of sex on accuracy in generated forces might suggest that the control of muscle force by the central nervous system is similar in both sexes and the sex differences in muscle force generations are rather of muscle mass and structure.
