This paper attempts to explain how biomechanical factors operate to affect human strength performance under dynamic conditions. It is shown that both inertial factors and muscle performance factors must be considered when modeling dynamic strengths. Both are shown to affect strength performance as well as how dynamic tasks must be evaluated.
