%MVV

Percent of the muscle’s maximum force (F / F_max × 100)

Biomechanics

Short definition

In VibroTheory %MVV = activation × 100 = force / max-force × 100.

Full definition

A per-muscle loading metric used in the G6 top-muscle charts and MuscleForceResult: the percentage of the muscle’s max isometric force F_max in the biomechanical model. Do not confuse with %MVC: %MVC is the share of the personal exercise maximum, %MVV is the share of an individual muscle’s maximum. Stored in pct_mvc (0..100).

Examples

Biceps at 45 %MVV means activation 0.45.
