Biolever Certified

The Biolever Range of Motion profile will identify the Structural Strength Zones so that energy is kept within the muscle and not transferred into the joint, which compromises the joint structure. Ten length and angle measurements are taken of the skeletal frame using the anthropometric measuring unit. These segmental lengths and angles are then calculated and a predetermined degree range is then illustrated on nine basic movements.

Knowing these structural ranges will assist you in personalizing a training program for your clients. It can also help in solving training problems. Knowing these structural leverage ranges will greatly enhance your ability to chose specific exercise positions, which in turn will give your client better results.
