Summary Introduction
To describe: The biomechanical factors determining muscular strength.
Introduction: The muscle tissue is a well-vascularized soft tissue present in the muscles of an animal body. It consists of specialized cells called the myocytes (contains contractile proteins) that are generally attached with bones which enables the movement of various parts of the body.
