Strength & Power
Dynamic strength test
Price: €70 - Duration: 1 hour (approximately)
Strength is a critical component of fitness for many sports, and is central to speed and power production. Our laboratory can measure strength accurately and safely using the latest isokinetic technology (see picture, top right). Peak torque, strength differences between two limbs, dynamic strength at different velocities, hamstring to quadricep muscles ratio and maximal isometric strength for both upper and lower limbs, can be measured and compared with sport-specific norms. All participants receive a written explanation of test results.
Wingate test
Price: €45 - Duration: 45 min. (approximately)
Leg power can also be tested over a short space of time, typically between 15 and 30 seconds, to give a measurement of anaerobic power, required in sprinting or other sustained power activities. A state-of-the-art isokinetic cycle ergometer (pictured, bottom right) and dedicated software are used to measure anaerobic power (i.e. peak power, fatigue index).
