Learn how to use force plates to enhance movement assessment and tailor exercise prescription by simplifying force‑plate data and linking key variables to strength, jump, balance and eccentric performance.
More about this course
Your force plates can provide you a myriad of information that can take your diagnostics and exercise prescription to the next level, which in term will optimise athlete or patient outcomes.
However, the amount of information can also be overwhelming and overly complicated. These series of resources are designed as short courses that strip back the use of force plates to fundamentals, keeping it simple to understand and easy to implement.
What you will learn
The journey begins with a refresher on muscle physiology and mechanics. You will then look inside a few variables that can guide assessment and exercise prescription for isometrics and concentrics. Thereafter some additional variables will be introduced that will guide your assessing and prescribing of eccentrics and stretch-shorten cycle movements.
You will also be introduced to balance assessment and programming. Underlying all this will be how force plates can be used to restore or improve force capability from a muscle, tendon and/or connective tissue perspective.
The resources are designed with all learning types in mind and are self-paced. Enjoy!
