Disclosed is a method for creating a fitness training program based on
performing neuromuscular and muscular performance tests on an individual,
analyzing the results of the neuromuscular and muscular performance
tests, and creating the fitness training program based on the analysis of
the neuromuscular and muscular performance test results. The equipment
used to perform the neuromuscular and muscular performance tests may be
equipment designed for rehabilitation physical therapy used for recovery
from injuries and surgical procedures that permits general neuromuscular
and muscular performance testing and testing of the difference in muscle
performance between a right side and a left side of the body of the
individual. The individual is tested to create a fitness training program
to increase neuromuscular and muscular performance, not for purposes of
injury and/or surgery rehabilitation. The individual tested may be a
healthy individual. The method is particularly well suited for an athlete
that desires to increase performance in a particular sport. The test
equipment should objectively, quantitatively, and accurately measure the
general neuromuscular and muscular performance and the difference in
muscle performance between the right side and left side of the body.
Neuromuscular and muscular performance tests may include a variety of
exercise movements with each movement tested for isometric, coordination,
proprioceptive, endurance capacity, and strength capacity response. The
fitness training regimen is created for the individual based on the
analysis of the neuromuscular and muscular performance test results.
