Those machines look like they could cause an injury.Who's a sport scientist and understand wtf they do with this leg strength data? What does it tell them, and then what kinds of plans do they put in place off the back of it?

Most often it's used for power and load capabilities of each muscle...then they can ascertain muscle weaknesses and imbalances. Comparing pulling and pushing and left limb to right limb as well.Who's a sport scientist and understand wtf they do with this leg strength data?

Balance up the discrepancies should help with injury prevention.
Yes. There will always be natural imbalances as we are right or left legged/handed. Plus on muscle groups themselves eg quads and hamstrings on the same leg. The aim is to iron them out.Oh yes interesting!
If there is an imbalance with one leg much strong this could lead injury. And then the player can strengthen the weaker side
Probably also useful to get players focused on getting fit - any league table gets peoples competitive motivation going.
