Abstract
The 2023 study by Del Cuerpo et al., published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, evaluated the reliability of using a Functional Electromechanical Dynamometer (FEMD) to monitor squat performance. Results showed 'very high' to 'high' stability across different training protocols, making it a valid instrument for tracking strength and velocity in both high-load and moderate-load scenarios.
The study confirms that FEMD provides stable and repeatable measurements, regardless of whether an athlete is training for maximum strength or muscular endurance. This makes it an essential tool for coaches and researchers looking for high-precision tracking of lower-body performance.
