Why use a force plate for a simple jump squat? 🤔
It’s about optimizing the rate at which you produce force! The countermovement jump (CMJ) is a fantastic way to test your body’s ability to use the Stretch-Shortening Cycle (SSC).
The system is showing:
1. Eccentric phase: How efficiently we load (decelerate).
2. Concentric phase: How quickly we explode (accelerate).
3. Jump Height: A direct measure of total force output.
If you’re serious about power, the data doesn’t lie!
