Isometric Tests
Isometric Test comprise a set of test that measure the strength body leverage points through
the isometric technique requiring an individual to push or pull maximally against a recording device without movement
taking place.
This test, like all tests of maximum strength, power or other physical performance
can be performed by the majority of the population without problems provided that
appropriate preparation has been done. This includes: warm-up exercises, mobility
and stretching exercises several submaximal efforts doing the same movement pattern
as the test, ie. back strength test. screening subjects for any potential back/ neck
problems or other musculo-skeletal problems which may be exacerbated by this maximal effort.
The primary device used to measure the force is a Tensionometer that can be attached to the body part being tested.
