There are multiple qualities of strength we look for in runners, the results of which help dictate management. 🏋️♀️
Here are some examples of the testing we perform utilizing our state of the art AxIT system, & the numbers that runners should strive for:
1️⃣Maximal strength: Seated calf raise (>1.5x bodyweight)
2️⃣Explosive strength: Isometric mid-thigh pull (>3x bodyweight), Countermovement jump (>30cm jump height)
3️⃣Reactive or plyometric strength: Drop hop (>20cm jump height, ground contact time <0.3sec), Single leg rebound test (ground contact time <0.3sec)
4️⃣Strength endurance: Calf raise to fatigue (25+ reps)
Runners, to find out your numbers, don't hesitate to reach out to us! 🙋🏼♀️
