Effects of seated posture on static strength, lower-body isometric muscle contractions, and manual tracking performance

<p>This research evaluates the effects of seat back angle and armrest angle on performance of the following variables: (1) static force generation capabilities on an isometric force-stick; (2) lower-body isometric muscle contractions used in anti-gravity straining maneuvers (AGSMs); and (3) tr...
