How to Test Hamstring Strength Beyond Nordic Curls!

This video, part of the athlete testing series in collaboration with VALD Performance, is presented by Jo Clubb, an Applied Sports Scientist and founder of Global Performance Insights. It delves into different ways to test the hamstring muscles. We discuss different tests and technologies available to sports scientists, fitness coaches and physiotherapists for testing the strength of the hamstring muscle group. These include VALD's NordBord device, isokinetic dynamometry, handheld dynamometry such as VALD's Dynamo, and isometric testing with a force plate, such as VALD Performance's ForceDecks, a dual force plate system that simplifies the assessment of physical performance and integrates data into VALD Hub for comprehensive analysis.
