Work capacity is context-specific ability to sustain and repeat the work required by a defined task; it has no single universal test or score.
Movement and evidence
Work capacity is context-specific ability to sustain and repeat the work required by a defined task; it has no single universal test or score. Exercise setup and variation change joint demands and muscle contribution. The cited evidence supports specific tested conditions, not universal isolation or one mandatory technique.
