Muscle strength testing: use of normalisation for body size

What this work gives Aellic

Strength scales with body mass^(2/3) under geometric similarity. Linear division systematically penalises heavier athletes. Important limitation: the exponent 0.67 applies to muscle STRENGTH (dynamometer); for torque (isokinetic) the paper explicitly recommends b = 1, so linear division is the correct choice there. Scaling a torque-derived measure by ^(2/3) would be a misapplication of this source.
