The science or practice of measuring force, power, or muscular strength using specialized instruments called dynamometers.
From Greek dynamis 'power' + metron 'measure' + -y suffix (from -ia). Developed as a scientific discipline in the 19th century when scientists needed precise ways to quantify mechanical forces.
Your gym's strength machines use dynamometry—they measure exactly how many pounds of force you're producing when you lift, which is how trainers know if you're actually getting stronger.
