Australian researchers have invented a new system that measures the strength in a person's hamstrings.
The Nord-Bord Testing System, developed at Queensland University, measures the strength of hamstrings during an exercise known as the Nordic curl. The advanced sensors and software enable clinicians and coaches to accurately understand the hamstring strength of each player. The results demonstrate the power difference between the two legs, which indicates the likelihood of potential injury. The university's spin-off company is now selling it to elite sports people worldwide.
