maksimivoima
Maksimivoima, in sports science, refers to the greatest force a muscle or muscle group can produce in a single maximal contraction. It is commonly assessed as a one-repetition maximum (1RM) in lifts such as the squat or bench press, or as an isometric maximal voluntary contraction measured with a dynamometer. Maksimivoima reflects the combined influence of muscle size, neural drive, and connective tissue properties, and tends to be higher in individuals with larger muscle cross-sectional area and favorable muscle architecture.
Determinants of maksimiivoima include muscle cross-sectional area, pennation angle, muscle fiber type distribution, nervous system activation
Development of maksimeivoima is typically achieved through high-load resistance training with relatively few repetitions per set
Assessment and use: Maximum strength measures guide training prescriptions and talent identification, but they do not
Safety: High-intensity lifts carry injury risk; proper technique, supervision, gradual progression, and individualized programs are essential
