Musculoskeletal Testing Flashcards

1
Q

Why measure musculoskeletal fitness?

A
  • Positively correlated with mobility, independence, glucose homeostasis, bone health and psychological well-being
  • Predict overall effectiveness at sport, occupation, or daily functioning
  • Prescribe exercise loads in a training program
  • monitor progress during training
  • Assess the effectiveness of resistance or rehabilitative programs

maximum strength

46
Q

How do you measure grip endurance

A

using hand grip dynomometer, record initial, record initial force and the final force at the end of 1 minute
