  2. Physical strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_strength

    There are various ways to measure physical strength of a person or population. Strength capability analysis is usually done in the field of ergonomics where a particular task (e.g., lifting a load, pushing a cart, etc.) and/or a posture is evaluated and compared to the capabilities of the section of the population that the task is intended towards.

  4. Strengthening mechanisms of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strengthening_mechanisms...

    Strengthening of materials is useful in many applications. A primary application of strengthened materials is for construction. In order to have stronger buildings and bridges, one must have a strong frame that can support high tensile or compressive load and resist plastic deformation.

    The strength training you do today could benefit you years from now, says Carlson. Even if muscle size diminishes after a hiatus, the muscle cells you build through training remain, creating a ...

  6. Strength training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_training

    Strength training is primarily an anaerobic activity, although circuit training also is a form of aerobic exercise. Strength training can increase muscle, tendon, and ligament strength as well as bone density, metabolism, and the lactate threshold; improve joint and cardiac function; and reduce the risk of injury in athletes and the elderly ...

  7. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    Tensile strength or ultimate tensile strength is a limit state of tensile stress that leads to tensile failure in the manner of ductile failure (yield as the first stage of that failure, some hardening in the second stage and breakage after a possible "neck" formation) or brittle failure (sudden breaking in two or more pieces at a low-stress ...

  8. Work hardening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_hardening

    Work hardening, also known as strain hardening, is the process by which a material's load-bearing capacity (strength) increases during plastic (permanent) deformation. This characteristic is what sets ductile materials apart from brittle materials. [ 1 ]

  9. Isometric exercise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_exercise

    The 'side plank' is a variation designed to strengthen the oblique muscles. An isometric exercise is an exercise involving the static contraction of a muscle without any visible movement in the angle of the joint.
