Abstract:
A method for measuring the working condition of muscles, wherein muscles are placed under load by mechanical training devices, the working condition of the muscles is measured, and the results obtained are registered, comprising the steps of:providing a mechanical training device for placing the muscles of a subject under load, and for measuring the working condition of the muscles;providing a data processing unit having a measuring program corresponding to said mechanical training device and including a plurality of measurements of the working condition of the muscles;connecting said data processing unit to said mechanical training device;activating said measuring program to obtain a desired measurement of the working condition of the muscles, wherein said load is generated by said mechanical training device by a counterbalance weight, and said load is opposed by the action of the subject against a balanced lever arm, and wherein said plurality of measurements of the working condition of muscles includes determining a range of motion of a subject, measuring the static strength of the subject and measuring the dynamic strength of the subject until the subject becomes fatigued.
