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.

Force Deck vs IMU: Jump Measurement Accuracy, Metric Agreement, and Field Reality

A lab-grade force plate and an 800Hz IMU can still disagree on jump height. See the ICC, Bland-Altman limits, and which tool is accurate enough.

Why Jump Height Drops with Fatigue: The Neuromuscular Science

A 5-15% jump height decrease under fatigue isn't random. Neuromuscular fatigue, RFD loss, and SSC decline explain it, backed by 800Hz IMU tracking data.
