Why track the whole body's velocity in a squat?
Encoders and accelerometers follow the barbell. In a squat you also lift your own body, so AlphaPWR follows the velocity of the combined centre of mass of lifter and barbell. The article explains the difference.
Read the articleHow is jump height calculated?
Jump height, time in air and take-off velocity can be derived from one another. The article explains the platform's two methods, time in air (TIA) and take-off velocity (TOV), and what can introduce errors in each.
Read the articleWhat does RSI tell you?
The Reactive Strength Index describes how well muscles and tendons use a fast stretch before a powerful contraction. The article explains the mechanisms and how coaches can use the measure in plyometric training.
