CYBEX Institute for Exercise Science

Exercise Analysis

The Cybex Institute for Exercise Science takes a scientific look at some common, and some not so common exercises. Each month, we’ll conduct a biomechanical analysis of a new exercise, examining the forces, joint torques, and movement strategies associated with each movement.

We'll break each exercise down into its constituent parts, identify its challenges and flaws, and help our viewers to 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. We’ll select a new exercise for analysis every month, and one could be yours.
