ForceDecks Test Protocol – Isometric Belt Squat

Before you begin

1. Zero ForceDecks - Ensure nothing is touching the plates during this step.
2. Weigh the individual - Have the individual step on the plates to measure their full bodyweight. They should NOT be wearing the belt during weighing.

Assume the starting position

• Belt worn around waist and fixed to the ground between the plates.
• Squat to quarter depth.
• Chest up and looking forward.

Perform the test

1. Stabilise - instruct the individual to remain completely still in the starting position for 2-3 seconds before and between each rep in the test.
2. Contract as hard and as fast as possible.
3. Hold at maximum force output for a minimum of 2 seconds.
4. Relax after the contraction.
5. Assume the starting position again.
6. Repeat steps 2 - 5 for the desired number of reps.
