Understanding Results in the NordBord App

When you run a NordBord test in the NordBord App, a number of metrics are calculated automatically.  

Here is an overview of the metrics displayed in the app:

1
The main display shows a force-time trace during a test

  • Y-axis = force in newtons (N)
  • X-axis = time in seconds (s)
  • Blue line = left leg force
  • Orange line = right leg force
2
The top-left metrics show maximum strength results:

  • Maximum left leg force is shown in blue
  • Maximum right leg force is shown in orange
  • Imbalance (i.e. percentage difference between left and right maximums) is shown above
3
The top-middle metrics show average strength results:

  • Average left leg force is shown in blue
  • Average right leg force is shown in orange
  • Imbalance (i.e. percentage difference between left and right averages) is shown above

Note: "Average" is the average of the peaks of all reps performed during the test.
4
The right-hand results panel shows rep-by-rep results for left and right leg.

Unwanted reps (e.g. accidental reps or reps performed with undesirable form) can be de-selected using the checkboxes next to each rep.
5
The History option shows reference points for the individual being tested, based on the test type conducted: 

  • Personal Best is the individual's highest ever left and right leg results for the test type.
  • Baseline is a saved reference point (often set at the start of a pre-season or season).
  • Moving Average is the average result from the last 1-10 tests, as selected.
