Abstract
A model of the regulation of muscle strength exertion is proposed. Based on the model, methods are discussed to assess whether a subject exerts maximal or submaximal efforts. Results with 40 subjects indicate that a simple technique may be developed to judge if a subject is following instructions to exert a maximal contraction in a routine test of voluntary muscle strength.Keywords
