Discuss the tests for determining muscular strength

What will be an ideal response?


Muscular strength can be measured using the one repetition maximum (1 RM) test, which measures the maximum
amount of weight that can be lifted one time. Because the 1 RM test is not suitable for older individuals or
deconditioned people, often the estimated 1 RM test is used to evaluate muscular strength. The estimated 1 RM test
measures the maximum amount of weight that can be lifted 10 times (called the 10 RM). Using this weight, you can
estimate 1 RM using the 1 RM Prediction Table (Table 4.2).
