Table 2 Explanation of the parts of the formula used to convert the measured muscle tension into the actual muscle tension and their units
From: Effect of Segment-Body Vibration on Strength Parameters
F1 | Measured muscle tension in Newton (N) |
L | Length of lower leg in centimeters (cm) |
f | Weight of lower leg in Newtona (N) |
α | Knee angle in degrees (°) |
β | Hip angle in degrees (°) |
δ | Lever arm of force (60) = 0.035 m |
