In the Zone: From strength to strength

In these four experiments students measure the size of their muscles and relate this to strength, investigate their upper and lower body strength, and explore the effect of fatiguing one set of muscles on another. ‘From strength to strength’ is part of the Wellcome Trust’s In the Zone initiative inspired by the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Free In the Zone resource kits were sent to UK schools and colleges in Spring 2012 and contain all the equipment needed for the lessons.
