Comparative Analysis of the Correlation between the Muscle Strength Assessment Tests for the Female Students in the FSPE and the FACSEEE

Abstract

Strength as a motor skill has a decisive role in expressing the movement ability of any individual, as all voluntary motion involves in variable degrees the contraction of one or several muscle bundles. By the multitude of existing manifestation forms and the diversity of combinations with the other motor skills, it is a fundamental element of the motor skill, also defined as fitness in specialized literature. General strength is part of the physical fitness, in addition to local muscular endurance, cardio-vascular endurance, flexibility and corporal composition. Certain strength combinations are also included in motor fitness, such as agility and speed-strength/
power, together with the sense of balance, response time, speed, segmental coordination. The present paper aims at the comparative analysis of the connections/ associations between the strength manifestation forms and the strength combinations with other motor skills, by calculating the correlation coefficients in all the tests included in the battery of tests, distinguished for the two lots of female students enrolled in FSPE and FACSEEE. The results obtained allow for the scientific guidance of the training process and the reasonable association of the exercises used to develop muscle strength in a differentiated manner, according to the peculiarities of each lot subjected to tests.
