Human Horsepower? Physical Potential?

Human DynoTesting?

DynoTesting comprises a 15-second test of maximal exertion over a full range of motion and speed that captures a MyPowerCurve (human horsepower curve) for each arm and each leg, enabling side-by-side comparisons of left limbs versus right limbs, upper body versus lower body and a composite of all four limbs for comparisons involving the entire body.

Younger power athletes generate MyPowerCurves that peak "high and to the right" due to abundant high-energy phosphate metabolism that delivers incredible speed and agility, but fatigues rapidly and soon atrophies without proper speed and power training.

Older power athletes generate MyPowerCurves that peak in the middle due to glycolytic metabolism that reacts slower, but enhances with strength-training to deliver impressive strength and stamina over a professional athletic career.

Endurance athletes generate MyPowerCurves that peak "low and to the left" due to oxidative metabolism that reacts very slowly and provides very little horsepower, but supports fine motor skills and is frequently the only metabolic energy pathway remaining in old age.

Human Horsepower?

Imagine looking "under the hood", not of your automobile, but of your athletes, at the metabolic “engines” generating muscular strength, speed and power? What would you find?

You would find that whereas an automobile engine has one peak horsepower, human skeletal muscles have up to three horsepower peaks, one for each metabolic energy pathway (high-energy phosphate, glycolytic and oxidative) and DynoRyder captures all three of these peaks for all four limbs of the body, revealing the unique blend of underlying, inheritable, yet trainable, metabolic energy pathways generating strength, speed and power for that particular athlete.

MyPowerCurves and underlying metabolic energy pathways are influenced by many factors, including training method, hydration, nutrition, disease, trauma and aging. Monitoring and "tuning" of these metabolic "engines" using serial DynoTesting is essential for maximizing human performance and physical potential.

Physical Potential?

DynoRyder provides the world's first measure of human physical capacity: the maximal ability of the body to perform physical work. MyPowerCurves reveal not only an athlete's current physical capacity, but also their statistical potential for improvement. How do they do that?

DynoRyder maintains a SQL database of all DynoTest results for use in calculating averages and standard deviations of MyPowerCurves and multivariate analyses of user height, weight, age, sex, limb length, muscle composition, etc., for use in normalizing individual physical differences and leveling the playing field, creating a virtual population of athletes "just like you" with whom to compare your current physical capacity and potential for improvement.

Physical potential is influenced by many things, including: (1) nurturing or neglect in childhood; (2) hormonal changes in adolescence; (3) inadequate strength, speed and power training; (4) overzealous, aerobic, cardiovascular endurance training; (5) dehydration, malnutrition, disease, trauma, aging; and (6) psycho/social factors that can undermine even the best of potentials.

MyPowerCurves enable athletes to recognize and track their innate physical potential.

Sports

Mike, an outstanding high school athlete, was awarded a football scholarship to college where his coach routinely monitors all players with weekly DynoTesting. Mike’s MyPowerCurve peaks “high and to the right” due to abundant high-energy phosphate metabolism that supports incredible speed and agility, but fatigues rapidly and resists conventional strength training. His coach wisely instructs Mike to focus on speed and power training and then waits until late in each game to unleash Mike's running ability on unwary defenders, carrying his team to victory on several occasions.

Military

Joe, in military special operations, has eight teammates, each with a unique skill set and physical potential. All team members DynoTest weekly for mission readiness, some generating MyPowerCurves that peak “high and to the right” for speed, others in the middle for strength and still others “low and to the left” for endurance. Every mission presents challenges that rely on different team members for a successful outcome. New teammates are chosen for skill sets and physical potentials matching those of outgoing teammates. DynoTesting is a critical part of that selection process.

Longevity

John, a 65-year-old retiree, undergoes DynoTesting at a local Wellness Center to assess aging & longevity. John’s MyPowerCurve starts low and to the right (speed), sloping higher across the middle (strength) and finally peaking on the left (endurance). He learns that most men his age no longer have any youthful, "speed" (high-energy phosphate) metabolism and that his physical potential looks more like that of a 40-year-old than a 65-year-old. John is elated and begins to train for the Senior Games, DynoTesting weekly to monitor his progress.
