Strength Testing Lab Report
1. Purpose of Data
• The purpose of the Muscular Strength and Endurance lab was to test the
functionality and strength of various muscles through different means of
obtaining the data. These tests were measured on a one to five scale, five meaning
the muscle was strengthened and functioning correctly, one meaning the muscle
was
very functionally weak.
2. Methods Used to Collect Data
• Data for this lab was collected using a few different methods. One was a manual
muscle test, where the various muscles were flexed and load was applied to
these muscles to see how they responded. Another method of data collection was
Handgrip Dynamometry, where grip strength was measured by squeezing and
applying pressure to the device. A Sit-to-Stand test was also used to see how
quickly we could transition from those positions. Lastly, Biodex Dynamometry
was used to test the flexion/extension ratio of our legs.
3. Results of Measurements
• Using my dominant (right) hand, a grip strength of 50kg. was recorded. In a five-
repetition Sit-to-Stand test, a time of 8.0 seconds was recorded. Using the
Manual Muscle Test, scores for various muscles were recorded as follows:
anterior and posterior deltoid- 5, biceps brachii- 5, extensor carpi ulnaris- 5,
flexor carpi ulnaris- 5, glute max prone- 4+, hip adductors- 5, hip flexors- 4+,
lateral and
