The aim of this investigation was to determine the relationship between BMI and the mechanical properties of muscle and tendon, and to compare these properties across different weight statuses. First, we observed that relative HGS significantly decreases as weight status increases, showing a moderate negative correlation with BMI. Second, the stiffness and tone of the forearm muscles decreased with increasing weight status and BMI.
A randomized two-group design with repeated measures was utilized. The sample size was determined using G*Power Software (Faul et al., 2007), with a power of (1 − β) .90, an alpha error of .05, and an effect size of .58 based on a previous study examining the benefits of Flywheel Resistance Training (FRT) in team sport participants (Seynnes, De Boer & Narici, 2007). Consequently, a minimum of 12 participants was required.
