Sports Medicine Testing and Evaluation
Endurance & Recovery

Studies have found that endurance athletes can greatly increase their strength by adding sport specific weight training to their program.

If you evaluate these studies, it becomes evident the those who benefit from strength training are individuals who are relatively new to the sport and not highly trained. These untrained individuals will benefit from any increase in general fitness, be it an improvement in strength or endurance. This explains why the greater muscle strength increases endurance performance in these individuals.

Chatillon dynamometers are used to objectively measure and quantify muscle endurance and recovery. They can also be used to measure the effects of a repetitive use injuries and to measure the effectiveness of post-injury rehabilitation.
