HAMSTRING TESTING KIT TO MONITOR ATHLETES PERFORMANCE

This weekends historic AFL and NRL grand finals saw the premiership champions dueling it out to take home the trophy after jaw clenching fights. Whilst it was the AFL premiers first win in 62 years, it was the NRL premiers first win in the clubs 50 year history making this years grand final a momentous event in sporting history. Both premiership winners were supplied with the Hamstring testing kit distributed by Applied Measurement Australia Pty Ltd. The hamstring testing kit predicts injuries and recovery time by measuring the hamstring strain. As such, a comparable database is created for the athletes to monitor their performance over time. Predicting the hamstring strain as well as monitoring the athlete’s performance is essential because it reduces the loss time as well as the high recurrence rates.
