SMARTCOACH TECHNOLOGIES IS REDEFINING THE WAY ATHLETES TRAIN
By combining Velocity-Based Training (VBT), flywheel resistance, and real-time feedback.
ECCENTRIC OVERLOAD IN FLYWHEEL DEVICES
Strength training has evolved with the use of flywheel devices, which provide variable resistance throughout the movement. One of the main advantages of these devices is the ability to induce eccentric overload, which is crucial for enhancing strength and preventing injuries. However, how can we ensure that we are truly achieving eccentric overload? In this…
TRANSFORM YOUR TRAINING WITH BILATERAL DEFICITS
Have you ever felt stronger during single-leg exercises than in bilateral movements? This could be due to the bilateral deficit (BLD), a natural phenomenon where bilateral force production is less than the sum of unilateral efforts. Understanding and addressing BLD can elevate your training, enhance symmetry, and boost overall athletic performance. Why Should You Care…
HOW TO MEASURE VERTICAL JUMP HEIGHT WITH A LINEAR ENCODER
Vertical jump performance is a key indicator of athletic ability, especially in sports requiring explosive lower-body strength. Yet, measuring jump height with accuracy and consistency remains a challenge. Traditional tools like force plates are considered the gold standard but are often expensive and impractical for daily use. Linear encoders offer a reliable, cost-effective alternative for…
UNDERSTANDING VELOCITY-BASED TRAINING
Transform your training with bilateral deficits Strength training has evolved significantly over the years, yet many athletes and coaches continue to rely on traditional percentage-based training to determine loads and monitor progress. While effective, this method often overlooks the fluctuations in daily performance caused by fatigue, stress, or recovery. Velocity-Based Training (VBT) offers a dynamic…
