In Kneerav/biomechanics: Biomechanics Data Analysis

Calculate Strength Scale Factor Based on Height and Mass

Description

This function computes a muscle volume scale factor based on an individual's height and mass relative to reference values from Rajagopal et al. (2016) using regression equations from Handsfield et al.

Usage

compute_muscle_volume_scale_factor(
  height,
  mass,
  height_ref = 1.68,
  mass_ref = 75.337
)

Arguments

height	A numeric value representing the height of the individual in meters.
mass	A numeric value representing the mass of the individual in kilograms.
height_ref	A numeric value for the reference height in meters (default is 1.68).
mass_ref	A numeric value for the reference mass in kilograms (default is 75.337).

Value

A numeric value representing the calculated strength scale factor.
