This is the Biodex! This assessment can give you important information about your leg strength that can improve performance and prevent injuries... 1. Is your leg strength where it needs to be for your sex, age & body stature?... 2. Is the ratio of strength from your quads to your hamstrings where it should be? 3. Are there any imbalances from your right to your left leg? From this information you can modify your resistance training program for optimal performance and safety!

Is low-moderate or high intensity aerobic exercise better? The answer is... BOTH! Working at low-moderate intensity can make your body a more efficient fat burner!... Working at a high intensity can improve your fitness! The HPL offers exercise assessments that give you personalized information about how to maximize your aerobic fitness!
