- NOT JUST
A PRODUCT,
IT’S A
SYSTEM!
One software, multiple tests, sen-
sors and technologies.

You can make it very simple or

very advanced, you decide, not the
system.

The wide selection of sensors and

devices that can be combined in
endless ways allowing synchronous
recording of various data.

An example is combination of Dyna-

Speed/Laser/timing gates and
contact grid/IMU for detection of
kinematics during sprinting.

EMG can be added to any test to

also monitor the nervous activity
in conjunction with the mechanical
output, like force and power.

Testing large groups of athletes?

No problem, the software is stream-
lined for collecting data quickly and
offers mass export and analysis in
the built in Spreadsheet.

© Ergotest Innovation AS
History began in 1990 when Ergotest Technology was founded. In 1991, in collaboration with Prof. Carmelo Bosco, we
developed the first linear position transducer for measuring power and force/velocity profiling in weight training. In
1995 we invented the sensor using retractable string that brought portability to a new level. 1995-96 we also added
force plates, EMG, goniometers, accelerometers, photo-cells to the program. At the same time we introduced the opti-
cal version of the traditional contact mat for jump tests that was originally invented by Bosco
in the late 80’s.

In 2010 Ergotest Innovation was founded and all activities was transferred from Ergotest
Technology to the new company. The entire product range was modernized, and we are proud
to still being in the lead in the field of sport technology.
