Answer: The bench press and leg press are the most widely used exercises for upper and lower body muscular strength testing, respectively. Other dynamic strength tests include the arm curl, latissimus dorsi pull-down, knee extension, and knee curl.

Step-by-step explanation:

Muscle strength can be measured by estimating a person's one repetition maximum a measurement of the greatest load that can be fully moved (lifted, pushed, or pulled) once without failure or injury.

Muscle strength can be measured by estimating a person's one repetition maximum (1RM) - a measurement of the greatest load (in kg) that can be fully moved (lifted, pushed, or pulled) once without failure or injury.
