The below video is a potential single leg isometric test variant that can be performed with this test type.
Starting Position |
Starting position varies depending on the isometric test being performed. |
Protocol |
-
Zero plates - Zero the plates. Ensure nothing is touching the plates during this step.
-
Weigh individual - Measure the individual's weight.
Important: for isometric tests where the bodyweight is being supported by something other than the plates (e.g., Shoulder ISO-I), only the limb being tested should be weighed.
-
Assume starting position - Ask the individual to assume the starting position on the plates.
-
Stabilise individual - Instruct the individual to remain completely still, in the starting position for 2-3 seconds before and between each rep in the test.
-
Perform test - Instruct the individual to:
- Contract as hard and as fast as possible; then
- Hold at maximum force output for a minimum of 2 seconds; then
- Relax after the contraction; then
- Assume the starting position again.
-
Repeat - Repeat step 5 to record the desired number of reps.
-
Complete the test - Click to stop the recording and check the results.
