How to Measure Snatch Turnover Velocity with IMU: Separating Technical and Strength Bottlenecks

Same second-pull speed, different misses. Track turnover velocity with IMU to find out if the limiter is pull-under speed or raw second-pull strength.

How to Set Velocity Targets for Hypertrophy Blocks

Wrong velocity targets stall hypertrophy blocks fast. Use these load zones, velocity-loss thresholds, per-exercise cutoffs, and weekly progression instead.

How to Build Repeat Sprint Ability for Team Sport Athletes

A player who fades in the 80th minute loses regardless of first-sprint speed. Set your RSA baseline, then run a 6-week block to lower your decrement score.
