Exercise Analysis

The Cybex Research Institute takes a scientific look at some common, and some not so common exercises. We conduct a biomechanical analysis of a variety of exercises, examining the forces, joint torques, and movement strategies associated with each movement.

Each exercise is broken down into its constituent parts, and its challenges and flaws are identified. Our goal is to help viewers develop a more critical eye when examining exercise techniques.

If you have an exercise of interest, please click here and send us its name, a short description, and some photos or a very brief video clip, along with your name and location. When we select a new exercise for analysis it could be yours.
