About this book

Human strength testing has advanced as technology has evolved; from evaluating strength in a general and unspecialized way through to more scientific methods being applied to help performance and prevent injury. Functional Electromechanical Dynamometry: Applications for Health and Sports Performance continues this evolution by developing and presenting applications in the assessment and training of strength in humans, broadening the scope of information available to physical therapists, coaches, and physical trainers specializing in strength training.

Many of the current testing and training protocols are empirically based, with their roots in clinical medicine. They have been developed based on what the technology of the time allowed. With the application of new technologies, functional electromechanical dynamometry (FEMD), inertial devices and mobile apps, etc. has seen the introduction of new testing protocols that outline how to assess strength in performance and the importance of muscle quality in injury prevention and treatment. Knowing how FEMDs work allows coaches, researchers and health personnel to improve diagnoses and treatments for athletes and non-athletes and be able to better measure the stresses of the tasks that occur in everyday life, whether in daily activities or sports performance.

This new research book is key reading for sports science students, researchers and academics and of specific relevance to those in the strength and conditioning or physiology fields as well as to anyone who wants to assess and improve musculoskeletal strength and muscle quality in humans.
