A member asked:
What amount does muscle mass really contribute to strength?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle is power: Muscle is the prime joint mover. 44% of body weight is muscle. If the muscle is stronger, it will generate more power. Attachment position of the tendons makes the joint move faster or slower.
