Normative RSI Data
Using Output Sports Normative Data and using your own in house (team) normative data can be a massive way to both drive intent whilst also allowing you to understand what plyometric exercise would be appropriate for the athlete in your programs. An example of this is an RSI assessment using 10-5 or drop jump test.
1.5 the athlete will perform low level plyometrics (pogos forward/backwards).
1.5-2 the athlete will perform moderate level plyometrics (Hurdle Jumps/Hops)
>2 the athlete will perform high level plyometrics (drop/depth jumps)
Utilising Angular Velocity Based Training (A-VBT - Strength Endurance & Strength Pathway)
Two main reasons end users use AVBT;
Intro to VBT for the younger/less trained athlete - Allows you to keep an eye on technique as well as introducing an intent factor through speed.
Return to play/performance - Able to see strength output differences from limb to limb e.g. Split squat assessment for knee injury.
Key points:
You have to be consistent on where the sensor goes on the athlete
This works better in 1-1 scenario as taking the strap on and off the leg for example will get messy in a large group setting.
