Endurance limit of force in long-term intermi.ttent static contractioIllS. Scand j. work environ. & health 3 (1977) 23-27. The relationship between endurance time and the mean force of contraction was investigated in intermittent and sustained static contractions over a long period of time (60 min). For intermittent static contractions the endurance limit of the mean force of contraction was found to be 14.0 %, and for sustained static contractions it was 7.9 % of the maximal force of
