***Improve your hamstring prevention protocol with Nordics!*** From the designer of hits like My Jump 2, My Lift or Runmatic, Nordics is the first app specifically designed to monitor your performance in the nordic hamstring exercise (NHE). The app measures with high accuracy the breakpoint angle achieved on the NHE, based on recent research that shows that this angle is highly related to hamstring eccentric strength. Moreover, based on that angle and using some cool biomechanics, it also measures an important metric, the torque (rotational force) at that point! For this, and taking into account the well-known benefits of the NHE for the prevention of hamstring injuries, Nordics can help you monitor your athletes to improve your prevention protocols and get the most out of your athletes! Nordics is very simple to use but includes advanced features that can help you monitor the performance of your athletes in the NHE in a professional way such as: -Measures the torque and breakpoint angle on the NHE using accurate video-analysis -Measures your leg asymmetry with the unilateral test -Organize your athletes in teams, and create as many teams and athletes as you want. Unlimited data base! -Export your whole database to a CSV file to work in Excel or other spreadsheet apps -Save as many tests as you want for each athlete and check his/her evolution over the season -Get warnings when your athlete significantly decreases his/her performance so you can readjust your training program Nordics, measure your NHE performance and prevent hamstrings injuries with your iPhone, iPad or Mac!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: FormBeat at Free against Nordics's $14.99. FormBeat also leads on ratings volume (12 vs 2). Nordics's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
