Body weight, leg volume, leg weight and leg density as determiners of short duration work performance on the bicycle ergometer.

ABSTRACT.The role of body weight, leg volume, and leg weight as determiners of the ability to produce work output during constant load (97 rpm at 34 kpm/rev) cycling of short duration (2 min) was studied. Body weight, leg volume, and leg weight accounted for approximately 41, 36, and 26 percent comm
