摘要
Purpose: This study used psychophysical methods to quantify subjects' errors during submaximal muscular force production. Methods: A sample of young adult (aged 23 +/- 3 yr) females (N = 60, 62 +/- 14 kg) and males (N = 50, 72 +/- 13 kg) performed a chest press on a hydraulic dynamometer with which they were unfamiliar. In four consecutive presses with a 2-min rest interval between each press, the subjects were asked to produce a force in the order of 25%, 50%, 75% of their maximal force, and a final maximal press. Pilot data (N = 10) indicated good reliability (r(xx) > 0.80) for the protocol. Results: The rs between perceived force production and the desired production were 0.76 (P < 0.001) for males and 0.75 (P < 0.001) for females. The exponent for the power function between the perceived and desired forces was 1.12 for males and 1.03 for females. The total error ranged from 2.82 kg m (males) to 1.22 kg m (females). The rs and the logarithmic matching of perceived and desired force indicated a linear relationship that is consistent with Borg's range model, which has proposed that perceptual intensities of force for different people are approximately set equal at a subjective maximum. Conclusion: Many young healthy subjects can produce relative muscular forces with good accuracy. However, some subjects will provide very inaccurate forces that might affect outcomes in rehabilitation or physical training.
