#HDEducationCourse2020 - Here’s a sneak peak on how Eric uses the force plates with his team
.
.
From Eric: “The real value in measuring force output through jump performance, as I see it, is being able to bridge the gap between the objective quantification of force production and affecting the quality of an athlete’s force application...The quick and reliable insight that force plates provide into the strategy athletes choose for movement led to the countermovement jump (CMJ) with free arms becoming our weekly go-to assessment...Of the 60 CMJ variables provided by our software, there are 8 distinct metrics selected from the entire force-time signal that directly drive our training prescriptions. Some of those underpinning values of our programming include braking net impulse, avg. relative propulsive force, braking RFD, propulsive impulse, and stiffness”
