7 Reasons to use a Drop Jump assessment with your clients. Performing a drop jump test using force plates like AxIT Stomp-IT can provide valuable insights into an individual's neuromuscular and biomechanical characteristics. Here are some reasons why you might choose to conduct such a test: 1- Assessment of Explosive Power: Drop jump tests are commonly used in sports and exercise science to evaluate an individual's explosive power. By measuring the force generated upon landing, you can assess the ability to rapidly generate force and translate it into a jump. 2 - Plyometric Training Evaluation: For athletes engaged in plyometric training, which involves rapid, explosive movements, force plate data from drop jump tests can help monitor training progress and determine the effectiveness of training programs. 3 - Injury Risk Assessment: Force plates can detect imbalances or deficits in force production during landing, which may be involved in increased injury risk, particularly in activities like basketball, volleyball, or sprinting. 4 - Rehabilitation Monitoring: In a clinical setting, drop jump tests can be used to assess an individual's readiness to return to sport after an injury. Changes in force production during landing can indicate progress or potential issues that need further attention. 5 - Performance Enhancement: Athletes and coaches can use force plate data to optimize technique and movement patterns, aiming to increase jump height, reduce ground contact time, and improve overall performance. 6 - Monitoring Fatigue: Force plate data can reveal changes in jump performance due to fatigue. This is useful for monitoring training loads and ensuring athletes do not overtrain, which could lead to increased injury risk. 7 - Baseline Data: Establishing baseline force plate data for athletes or individuals can serve as a reference point for future assessments. It helps track progress over time and provides a comparative benchmark. #forceplate #forceplates #jumpassessment #dropjump #depthjump #jump

Is your client a Tractor or a Ferrari? The quest for the perfect combination of strength and power has long puzzled athletes and weightlifters. Although the two share similar qualities, there are actually some differences. Knowing and understanding these differences can help you identify the most important attributes for your clients sport or activity and influence their training accordingly. Tractors have a lot of staying power and can often reach huge amounts of Peak Force as they get going. To increase maximum Peak Force generation—and thus their overall strength—athletes should use heavy loads for numerous sets of three to six repetitions. The best exercises are those that allow for heavier loading, typically multi-joint exercises like the Squat, Deadlift, and Bench Press. The ultimate goal is to increase the amount of weight that can be lifted for a single repetition. Speed of lifting doesn't matter. In fact, under a heavy load, weight will often not be able to be moved quickly. Ferraris have the ability to accelerate rapidly from a dead stop with a massive Peaks in Rate Of Force Development (RFD). Unlike training solely for strength, training for maximum RFD engages the element of time. The main focus of this type of training is to reduce the amount of time it takes to apply a set amount of force. As the speed of movement increases, often force decreases. Therefore, the goal is to find the right load, one that allows quick movement while also generating a large amount of force. The relationship between force and velocity explains why an athlete can be exceptionally strong but lack significant power and RFD (Tractors) or can generate smaller Peak Force but do so very rapidly (Ferraris). Power lies in the ability to produce force quickly. If an athlete is really strong but produces maximum force slowly, s/he will lack power.

Do you assess Drop Jumps with your athletes?⠀ ⠀ The Drop Jump Test is designed to examine athlete reactivity and consists of an athlete standing on a box or platform stepping off and dropping onto the devices such as the AxIT Stomp-IT. After absorbing the drop the client then immediately propels back up into a jump. ⠀ ⠀ The Drop Jump is considered a fast stretch-shortening movement— and one of the main measures of the test is how quickly the athlete can move from absorption to propulsion. ⠀ ⠀ Th
