Body mass-normalized knee extension torque

1. Body mass-normalized knee extension torque is associated with normalized muscle EMG activity during squatting in humans (r = -0.78 to -0.86, P ≤ 0.001).

   “At each of the three measurement time points KET/BM was inversely correlated with QF %EMGmax (r = -0.78 to -0.86, P ≤ 0.001).”
