Sled Push Load-Velocity Testing: A Field Protocol That Beats Guessing
Stop loading sleds by feel. Run this 5-load field test, calculate F0 and v0 from push velocity, and find each athlete's real power-peak load.
Jump Squat Load Optimization with VBT: Finding Your Optimal Resistance
Use velocity-based training to find the optimal load for jump squats. Learn the force-velocity relationship, individualized load testing, and programming.
How to Build a Force-Velocity Profile: 6-Step VBT Protocol
A force-velocity profile shows whether you need more force or more velocity work, not another generic program. Follow this 6-step VBT protocol to find out.
Why Weighted Jumps Build Power: 800Hz IMU Data on the Science of Optimal Load
Why do weighted jumps outperform unloaded jumps for power? An 800Hz IMU dataset and a 12-week longitudinal study reveal the optimal 10–30% 1RM range.
Force-Velocity Imbalance Explained: Diagnose Weakness with an 800Hz IMU
Jump numbers stall even though you train hard? An FVi score from an 800Hz IMU separates a force deficit from a velocity deficit in minutes, not guesswork.
How to Periodize from Strength to Power: 4-Week Pre-Season Strategy
Carrying max-effort strength into pre-season blunts power output. This 4-week model shifts load with velocity zones so power shows up before season starts.
Field-Based Sprint Mechanical Profiling: Methods, Norms, and Practical Applications
Targeting an athlete's force-velocity deficit cut 40m sprint time 3.9%, double the untargeted group. Here's the field test and load norms by sport.
Athlete Power Testing Battery: Comprehensive Assessment Guide
Which four tests actually predict on-field power? CMJ, broad jump, 1RM, and sprint protocols, plus the norms to make sense of the numbers.
Force-Velocity Deficit Diagnosis and Correction: Practical Guide
Weak jump but strong squat? That mismatch signals a force or velocity deficit. This profiling protocol sets thresholds and a correction plan to fix it.
Individualizing Training with Velocity Profiles
Two athletes lifting the same load can have opposite profiles. Classify force vs. velocity deficits and retest every 8 weeks to confirm the shift.
How to Interpret Force-Velocity Profile: A Step-by-Step Practical Guide
A force-velocity profile means little without context. This walkthrough covers slope analysis, imbalance diagnosis, and training calls from IMU data.
Force-Velocity Profiling Research: Methods & Applications
Not every F-V profiling protocol holds up for team-sport athletes. This review breaks down research quality plus real sprint and jump applications.
