Isometric Testing

Isometric Strength is defined as the maximum force a person can exert against a fixed bar. This type of testing can extract a lot of information on the person's muscle performance. It is also one of the most widely used means of muscular testing. Isometric tests are relatively simple to perform and the information you get is easy to interpret.

By isometric testing you can gain information on:

>>  Maximum strength
>>  Muscular balance, right - left, front - back

Isometric testing can be used in the fitness or rehabilitation setting alike. By testing we can detect deficiencies and be able to target the training to right areas. You can also naturally track the progress of a person.

The Performance Recorder is a general-purpose portable strength-measuring device. It consists of an accurate industrial grade strength sensor (0-200 kg) and an accompanying electronics which record the values form the sensor a 100 times per second. The highest recorded force will be shown on the display.

The Performance Recorder can be directly connected to all HUR exercise machines, which are equipped with the Isometric testing sensor attachment. You can connect the sensor to the machine in a matter of seconds. This locks the lever arm in position and when you push against it the maximum force will be displayed.

The Performance Recorder can also be used stand-alone or together with other manufacturers exercise machines as well. (Please note that connecting the device to other machines may require additional hardware and/or tools)

The Performance Recorder Software Suite

The Performance Recorder Software Suite has been developed for easy analysis of Isometric Tests and follow up on a person's progress. The data is entered by hand or by computer connection and the result will display, for example, Maximum Strength and Muscular Balance.
