How to Use Force Plates for Return-to-Play Asymmetry Testing
Force plate asymmetry testing for return-to-play: why a single symmetry % is the weakest signal, why single-leg tests expose it, and a lab-free workflow.
How to Test and Calculate Dynamic Strength Index (DSI)
Test and calculate the dynamic strength index on force plates: the CMJ and IMTP protocol, the math, the 0.60 and 0.80 zones, and how to read it.
How to Perform an IMTP Test on a Force Plate
How to run a repeatable IMTP test on a force plate: position setup, cueing, real-time trial vetting, and reading net peak force the right way.
Understanding Force-Time Curves: A Coach's Guide
How to read a force-time curve cold: the four landmarks to spot, why impulse beats peak force, and what each curve shape tells you to train.
What a Force Plate Really Costs: One-Time vs Subscription Pricing
What a force plate really costs over a few seasons: the one-time vs subscription math, data lock-in, and the two questions to ask any vendor before you buy.
How to Set Up and Use the OVR Force
A start-to-finish setup guide for the OVR Force: power on and zero the plate, pick the right mode, test off the on-device badge, and add a second plate for left-right data. No tablet, no subscription.
