Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of physical fitness assessment, and in particular to a human body maximum force testing and analysis system. Background Art

[0002] Explosive power refers to the ability to generate work per unit time through the force generated by muscle contraction. Taking leg strength as an example, leg strength supports the entire body's weight and is the primary source of power. Leg strength is a crucial evaluation metric for many sports. In rehabilitation medicine, scholars believe that knee injuries are directly linked to poor leg muscle strength, and therefore, strengthening leg strength can help reduce the incidence of knee injuries. Studies have shown that leg strength is influenced by femoral neck bone density, and that good leg strength can reduce the risk of fractures and osteoporosis.

[0003] Leg strength test is a reflection of lower limb muscle strength. The test focuses on knee extension strength and usually measures the maximum isometric contraction strength of the quadriceps femoris. This indicator is generally called maximum leg strength.

[0004] Existing equipment primarily consists of a pull bar and a force platform. The subject steps on the force platform and pulls on a lever with both hands. The force platform collects plantar pressure. This equipment measures the ground reaction force of both feet, generates a ground reaction force curve, and calculates maximum lower limb force parameters. However, the resulting data is inaccurate. Therefore, we propose a novel human maximum force testing and analysis system. Summary of the Invention
