THE STUDY OF MONKEY, APE AND HUMAN MORPHOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY RELATING TO STRENGTH AND ENDUR ANCE; PHASE I: THE RELATIONSHIPS OF HUMAN SIZE TO STRENGTH

Abstract

Actual relationships of human size to strength have remained undetermined despite decades of re search by many investigators because the determination necessitates valid theoretical formulation and selection through three essential crite ria of a proper sample of subjects for empirical testing. The formula is: strength k. Vol. (Wt.)/Ht. Champion weightlifters satisfy all criteria, and, by minor adjustments for sample size and skeletal proportion, specific lifts can be predicted within ounces.
