As it has been said, for one the Warframe's quite obviously have superior strength to normal people, as well as that to use those attacks they swing with the momentum of the sword. If you've ever got a hammer and swung it, you would know it is much easier to wind the swing into another one than to halt it and suffer the inertia.

Regardless, historical greatswords were never much heavier than about 4 or 5 kilograms, which isn't much when you consider the balance of the weight, with it being relatively close to the blade. So when people say greatswords were huge masses of metal that took inhuman strength - they are wrong, though they did require more fitness as of course they are a bit heavier than a standard sword. Of course, a lot of fantasy weapons are completely unrealistic (doesn't mean they aren't quite cool though and I get it's fiction), as a swing from those weapons would send you flying upwards, due to being longer and heavier than the wielder (no person would use a weapon heavier than they were... that would be absurd), but the ones in Warframe aren't quite so ridiculous (though still fairly so), but combined with the seemingly-high-strength of the Tenno, it isn't so strange.
