Greatest amount of force a muscle or muscle group can exert in a single effort.

The greatest amount of force a muscle or muscle group can exert in a single effort is known as the maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) or maximal strength. This is typically measured using a dynamometer or other strength testing equipment and is expressed in units of force such as pounds or newtons. The MVC can vary depending on factors such as muscle size, muscle fiber type, training status, and neuromuscular coordination.
