Muscle strength, often referred to as physical strength, is the measure of an individual's ability to exert force on physical objects using skeletal muscles. It is determined by factors such as muscle cross-sectional area, motor unit recruitment, and joint mechanics. Increasing muscle strength is a primary objective of resistance and strength training.
