Document Summary
Introduction: muscular strength: greatest amount of force that a muscle can produce during a single maximum effort. Lifting greater lift at once is stronger than person that can lift more total weight for more reps: more reps = muscular endurance, estimates of body strength through contractions. Isometric spring loaded dynamometer | cable tensiometer. Isokinetic isokinetic dynamometer: expensive + sophisticated isokinetic strength testing machines = biodex and kin- com. Test right and left hand twice in kg. Jackson evaluation system procedures: versatile strength testing unit, also assesses dynamic and isokinetic muscular strength. Two tests: knee and hip extension + upright rowing. Stand on flat platform with feet flat on surface shoulder width apart: bend knees to 120 degrees. Set bar chain links so that arms are fully extended with back and neck straight. Use reverse grip one hand up one down eyes straight ahead or slightly upward. Stand on platform: knees locked in full extension.
