How to Calculate Estimated 1RM from Velocity Data

Mean velocity correlates with relative load at r=0.97, accurate enough to skip max-effort testing. Here's the step-by-step estimation protocol and formula.

How to Integrate VBT in Team Sports: Practical Workflow for S&C Coaches

Rolling out VBT to a 25-player roster differs from coaching one athlete — device setup, squad logistics, and readiness screening, step by step.
