NordBord Test Types
With the NordBord, you can run several pre-programmed hamstring tests:
- Nordic
- Razor
- ISO Prone (0°)
- ISO 30°
- ISO 60°
- Custom (name your own)
| Nordic | Contraction mode: eccentric Rep Detection: bilateral (i.e. both legs must contract simultaneously to register a rep during a test) Position: starting upright, finishing in push-up position Description: the most common NordBord test, and the best supported by research |
| Razor | Contraction mode: eccentric Rep Detection: bilateral (i.e. both legs must contract simultaneously to register a rep during a test) Position: starting bent over, finishing in push-up position Description: a common alternative to the Nordic, albeit typically less popular |
| ISO Prone | Contraction mode: isometric Rep Detection: unilateral (i.e. legs can contract simultaneously or one at a time to register reps during a test) Position: prone or "bridge" position, with 0° of knee flexion Description: an end-range isometric strength test |
| ISO 30° | Contraction mode: isometric Rep Detection: unilateral (i.e. legs can contract simultaneously or one at a time to register reps during a test) Position: on hands and knees, with 30° of knee flexion Description: the most common isometric NordBord test. A long-length isometric strength test, often used to roughly mimic the knee joint angle during the "strike" position in running gait |
| ISO 60° | Contraction mode: isometric Rep Detection: unilateral (i.e. legs can contract simultaneously or one at a time to register reps during a test) Position: on hands and knees, with 60° of knee Description: a shorter-length isometric strength test |
| Custom | Rep Detection: unilateral (i.e. legs can contract simultaneously or one at a time to register reps during a test) Description: enter your own custom test name, and perform your own protocol as desired |
