Episode notes
INSIGHT

Standardized Yet Adaptable Assessment

  • P3 uses a standardized assessment battery for all athletes including motion capture and force-plate tests.
  • They then customize parts of the protocol based on sport, rehab status, or time constraints.
ADVICE

Measure Lateral Force With A Skater CMJ

  • Use lateral CMJ (skater) on force plates to quantify frontal-plane force production and intent.
  • Compare relative force (÷ bodyweight) to your database to judge lateral movement capacity.
INSIGHT

Engine vs. Expression Distinction

  • High lateral-force scores often translate to better slide-test performance but not always to court skill.
  • Differences reveal whether the limitation is capacity (engine) or movement expression.
