1. Velocity metrics

  • Repetition mean velocity
  • Repetition peak velocity
  • The repetition mean propulsive velocity is the mean velocity in the acceleration phase
  • The repetition movement velocity is defined as velocity per distance

2. Power metrics

  • Repetition mean power
  • Mean power over the first propulsive phase
  • Repetition peak power

3. Force metrics

  • Repetition mean force
  • Repetition peak force
  • The peak rate of force development is calculated in 40 ms intervals over the whole phase of a lift

4. Time metrics

  • Repetition overall duration
  • Duration of the first propulsive phase
  • Distance of the first propulsive phase
  • Time to peak velocity within the concentric phase of one repetition
  • Time to peak power within the concentric phase of one repetition
  • Time to peak force within the concentric phase of one repetition
  • Contact time is the duration the feet are on the ground during a drop jump, measured from landing to takeoff

5. Spatial metrics

  • Repetition overall distance
  • Sagittal projection of the bar path
  • Frontal projection of the bar path
  • Minimal angle in 3D space between start and end positions of rep phase
  • Jump height is defined as the vertical difference of the center of mass from the
  • moment of takeoff, at which no more force is generated, to the highest point

6. Index metrics

  • The modified reactive strength index (RSI Mod) is calculated by jump height divided by time to take off
  • The reactive strength index (RSI) is calculated by jump height divided by the contact time

7. Loading metrics

  • Total volume load of a session including warmup sets
  • Total volume inertia of a session, including warmup sets
  • The one-repetition maximum is the highest load to be moved concentrically

8. Exertion metrics

  • The exertion of a set rates how hard a set was
