Neuromuscular efficiency during changes of direction test

By using electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves, it is possible to calculate the athlete’s muscular ability to sustain intense exercise involving changes of direction (specific muscular endurance). The test involves making four sets of repeated changes of direction and calculating, at the end of each set, neuromuscular efficiency of the quadriceps. This test also makes it possible to detect any lower body strength asymmetry when at rest and when fatigued.
