 While the majority of strength improvement throughout adolescence is due to the increase in muscle size and mass, these changes can also affect the moment arm of the muscles around the axis of rotation of a joint. Specifically, the Achilles and patellar tendon moment arms are smaller in prepubescent children.Yeah, I dunno. Folks are saying some pretty major things in a vacuum - like someone commenting that men are 3x as strong as women - but nobody is providing corroborating evidence. I think there's a lot of misunderstanding of body mechanics and strength out there, and having a whole thread of people saying things that are either severely lacking context or are just wrong is not helpful. Everyone is also using the term "natural" strength - which to me refers to capacity, not real-world metrics, as the latter skews heavily based on cultural factors. I think the body mechanics thing caught my eyes because that's one of those more measurable factors that could affect "natural" strength in a very direct way. Of course, this is also all in context of averages, and not individuals - where personal proportions, muscle insertions, and environmental factors will vary wildly.
