In sports science, numbers don’t lie and that’s the whole point of using force plates. They let us go much deeper than what the eye can see. Instead of guessing how well an athlete jumps, lands, absorbs force, or produces power, force plates tell us exactly what’s happening with every movement. When we understand what we’re testing, why we’re doing it, and how each test guides training, the data becomes far more meaningful than just “doing a jump test.” Force plates capture things like peak...

In the past, athletes relied on instinct, experience, and feedback from coaches to gauge their performance. Training programs depended on observation, stopwatch times, and personal assessments of effort. Today, wearable technology has changed how we measure, understand, and improve performance. From tracking heart rates to analysing movement patterns in real-time, wearable tech has turned training from an art into a precise science. The Data Revolution in Sports The greatest benefit of...

What is Force Velocity Training ? The force-velocity curve is a fundamental concept in sports science that describes the inverse...
