Force-Velocity Profile - How, why, & what to do with It

"Force and velocity are the parameters required to produce power. In athletic performance, power is the attribute that an athlete must possess to perform the incredible athletic achievements that leave the rest of mankind cheering in awe. When an athlete swings a club, throws a punch, or makes a devastating tackle, massive amounts of power is required. Each athlete on earth possesses certain amounts of force production and certain amounts of velocity producing abilities. Power requires an equal amount of each. Most athletes fall into three categories: high velocity and low force, low velocity and high forceforce, or powerful. Of course, athletes range in between all three spectrums, but the force-velocity profile helps you define the athlete. We know that velocity decreases as load/mass increases from the relationship between momentum and impulse [Σ Δt = m(v f − v i)]. In a perfect world, the velocity of a barbell should decrease in a linear fashion as load is added to the barbell. Dr. Bryan Mann has helped us understand this relationship over the last decade. Now I am going to show you how to perform a force-velocity profile. Performance of a Force-Velocity Profile......" Read more: https://gymaware.com/force-velocity-p...
