Someone please get around to organizing the data into a table. I suppose I'd eventually do it but I do not intend to do so anytime soon. Well, maybe...
(that wasn't me; and I wasn't the one who put it into a table) if there's a reference for labelling the fibers as "slow-twitch, fast-twitch A(type I), fast-twitch B(type II)" then okay, but otherwise, I've only ever seen "slow-twitch(type I or ST), fast-twitch A(type IIa or FTA), fast-twitch B(type II or FTB)" so I fixed it. We can always add a section describing the confusion. -- Blair P. Houghton 20:06, 18 Jan 2005
Honestly, there are 10 types of animal muscle fibers 4 or 5 of which are found in humans and referred to by several different names (even in the same nomenclature system); if it hasn't been done already I'm going to add a page outlining it all, and take some of the irrelevant stuff about fiber types out of this page.

Aside from cross sectional area of a muscle correlating with force production...

I removed the following paragraph, and would like to take out the entire PSI section. It's unsourced, I've never heard of it, and frankly doesn't make sense.
What units does the formula refer to? The sentence on hyperplasia doesn't make sense in the context, and the last two sentences should be removed as a) useless and b) written in the second person.
I also removed some information which is better placed on one of several other pages, notably Red meat, White meat and Muscle Fiber; it's otherwise irrelevant to physical strength beyond the notation about fiber types already on the page.

There really should be some more description of strength, i.e how to increase it, the theories on increasing it (adaptation,muscle tears, rebuilding etc), and its relation to hypertrophy, even if these are linked to weight training. the definition of the amount of force exerted on an object does not surpass a low grade dictionary.

Thank you for your suggestion. When you feel an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the edit this page link at the top. The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes — they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to). WLU 17:57, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Changed "human or animal" to just "animal", since animals are the only organisms capable of exerting "strength" in such a sense, and humans are technically animals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.139.19.171 ( talk) 20:17, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
The 'brawn' disambiguation page links here, but this page does not even contain that word. Is it slang? Some particular sort of physical strength? A bad redirect? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.251.37.77 ( talk) 23:36, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
For an article with severe source issues, this article shouldn't be part of 11 Wikiprojects.
The project is outdated, so I'm removing it."Not Found, The requested URL /wp/p/Physical_strength.htm was not found on this server. Apache/2.2.25 Server at schools-wikipedia.org Port 80"
This article should not be classified as a physical quantity or constant, as in physics. I'm going to remove that.
