Correlation between Mid Upper Arm Muscle Area/Size and Muscle Strength

open access: yesAlthea Medical Journal, 2016
Background: Muscle area/size reflects the true magnitude of muscle tissue changes. Muscle strength is an active tension generated by muscle that depends on its capacity to exert force on an object. The relation between the quantity of muscle area and the
