1. Do youknowMuscle Lab?
The MuscleLab can measure almost everything to do with power and speed, and is therefore
extremely versatile for a great many uses, such as:
Controlling and adjusting the training process of top athletes and for immediate feedback
Controlling and adjusting the recovery process after injuries and for immediate feedback
MuscleLab is portable and can be used both in the laboratory and in the clinical setting, as
well as outside on the playing-field or in the sports hall
MuscleLab can be coupled to almost all apparatus used for training purposes which means
both power apparatus as well free weights
MuscleLab has extremely well thought-out software with far more possibilities than many
other more expensive types of apparatus
MuscleLab measures power with the velocity as it occurs in sport, and is therefore
specifically for sports.
The measurement data are stored and can be compared graphically or in tables
MuscleLabis a combination of measuringpossibilities, broughttogether in oneapparatus:
The well-knownjumpingpower-mat (Boscos test)
Sensor to measure the power in Watts in strength training
EMG to measure the muscleactivity and recruitment of musclefibers
Electrogoniometer, used to dynamically record the angle of a joint
Accelerometer for accurate information in varioustests
Electronic timing gates for speed test
Force platformwhichregisters the vertical force aswellas the path of the projection of the
centre of gravity
Built in video function to record video along with data for furtheranalysis
My mission is to provide to my Team a practical, powerful, accurate, reliable and easy to use tool
for evaluation of muscle performance in sport and rehabilitation. MuscleLab is used by scientists,
top sports centers, sophisticated fitness centers, rehabilitation institutes and hospitals. Even NASA
and ESA (European Astronaut Centre, EAC) are using this powerful tool for experiments in space
related research programs.
