For this test you’ll need a squat rack, a sling, some carabiners, and a force measurement tool like the Tindeq. Take some time to set the test up correctly so you can get usable results. Do 1-2 reps per leg at lower effort to warm up.
MVIC = Maximum Voluntary Isometric Contraction. In other words, you are pulling against an immovable object, as hard as you can. If you feel pain, the rep is over.
You will perform three tests per leg, at two different angles. For the first test, your knee should be bent to 90 degrees. For the second test, your knee will be bent to 120 degrees. You might need to set these up differently.
