Are you getting stronger? We are! The ladies wrapped up the spring semester of training with some strength and endurance testing. #the isometric mid thigh pull is a test where you produce maximal force with your legs, trying to rip the rack out of the ground. The force plates, that the athletes stand on, measure how much force and how quickly they produce that force. This is a safer less fatiguing test then 1rm testing that has been proven to be correlated with sport performance. Strength training is paramount for endurance sports as it maintains and promotes muscle mass, increases economy during endurance activity’s and well it’s fun! #sportscience #triathlontraining #letsgetstronger #triathlon #triathletes
