How to Set Your Personal Velocity Zones with 800Hz IMU Data

Generic velocity tables ignore your actual strength curve. Build strength, power, and speed zones from your own 800Hz IMU numbers in just a few sessions.

How to Test Barbell Acceleration with an Attached IMU: Placement, Axis Calibration, and 7 Key...

Velocity alone hides how a lift accelerates. This 7-step protocol covers IMU placement, axis calibration, and the metrics that reveal bar speed changes.

How to Test Single-Leg Asymmetry: A Complete 800Hz IMU Protocol

A 10% gap between legs raises injury risk. This 5-step 800Hz IMU protocol finds single-leg asymmetry and shows how LSI data should change your programming.

How to Test Explosive Strength with IMU: 5 Validated Protocols

Explosive strength testing doesn't need a lab. Five 800Hz IMU protocols measure CMJ flight time, squat jump RFD, slam power, and barbell acceleration.

How to Track a Pitcher’s Throwing Velocity with IMU: An 800Hz Sensor Standard Beyond the Radar Gun

Radar guns clock the pitch, not the arm behind it. An 800Hz IMU tracks 5 metrics like MER velocity, where injury risk climbs past 8,500 deg/s.

How to Train Baseball Throwing Velocity with Rotational Power and IMU

Stodden's research found fastball velocity comes 45% from the legs, 35% from trunk rotation, and 20% from the arm. This 12-week protocol trains all three.

How to Train Bench Throw Power: An 800Hz IMU Protocol for Upper-Body Explosiveness

A normal bench press only accelerates through 50-70% of the rep before you brake to catch it. This 8-week protocol removes that ceiling with IMU load data.
