Top-level athletics
Since November 1996 western Norway´s professional sportsmen and women in football, handball and athletics have been priority users of the NUI test centre. Nutec can now offer sports testing to other sportsmen and women (individuals and groups) who want their physical fitness etc tested.
Later we have extended our range in this area through the acquisition of "MUSCLE LAB", a new system which enables us to carry out advanced tests of strength and resilience versus time. NUI´s team comprises professionals with a broad range of formal and practical expertise in physiology, training techniques, teaching, medicine and measuring techniques.
Since 2002 NUI has been Olympiatoppen Hordaland's official test centre for top-level athletes in the region.
NUI now offers tests that include:
Measuring maximum oxygen intake (VO2 max)
VO2 max on treadmill
VO2 max on ergometer cycle
Anaerobic threshold on treadmill and ergometer cycle (for sub-maximal measurement of lactate levels)
Anaerobic threshold through field tests on track and cross country
Running speed on 40 m test track (using photo cells)
Resilience (anaerobic capacity, elastic energy and percentage of fast muscle fibre are measured on mats)
Stamina and strength (enables detailed analysis of dynamic muscular work and synchronous monitoring of nervous muscle activation)
Explosive strength (muscular stamina, tests enable a description of a muscle group´s capacity in terms of requirements and the characteristics of speed. Bio-feedback training ensures optimal training impact and reduces the risk of over-training)
Mobility
