Harnessing Force Plates for Athletic Advancement

This chapter explores the application of force plates in training and testing to enhance athletic performance, particularly in the context of exercises like squats and jumps. It delves into the significance of accurately measuring force outputs and the complexities of isometric versus dynamic movements, while emphasizing the importance of logistics in real-world training environments. The discussion also highlights the interpretation of performance metrics, urging practitioners to focus on individual components to improve athlete training strategies.
