Beyond the Nordic Curl: Hamstring Strength Tests

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.

Very nice! Do you think the recently added ISO hip push would give similar insights as to the 90/90 test?

[@globalperformanceinsights]

Thank you! I think they would represent different aspects of lower-body isometric strength. The ISO hip push is assessing hip extension, whereas the McCall 9090 is more focused on knee flexion.
I did see the release of the new ISO measurements on the VALD system, so perhaps they should be a focus of a future video.

Is there another product that is made to do this exercise? I don't exactly need all the crazy technology but I would love to have a machine like that in my home gym but I cant seem to find anything like that anywhere.
