Force, velocity, and power are all vital for success in jumping and sprinting, but how are these key components measured and monitored to improve athlete performance?
In the latest ‘Experts in Sport’ podcast, host Martin Foster (Applied Sport Management Lead) is joined by Professor JB Morin from Université Jean Monnet (St Etienne) and Dr Bill Haug, Strength and Conditioning Lead at º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ.
During the episode, JB and Bill discuss the methods of measurement and touch upon the importance of individualisation, talking around key topics such as how stronger does not always mean faster, and how and why velocity spectrums may change from one individual athlete to the next.
The panel also explain how to create an optimal force-velocity profile for an athlete, explaining the various training methods to optimise performance. Both experts also discuss the simple methods that can be used to measure force velocity and power, without the need for a force platform.
