Description

ForceDecks force platform technology gives a much deeper insight into the traditional methods used to profile athletic performance, such as a squat, drop jump or counter-movement jump (CMJ).

When a CMJ is performed on a force platform in addition to jump height, the technology reveals how the jump was performed through novel force-time variables during and between the concentric and eccentric phases of the jump.

ForceDecks Force platforms measure force at 1000Hz when a user performs static and dynamic actions.

At the click of a button, the ForceDecks software then provides feedback on key metrics related to muscle performance, injury risk and/or rehabilitation progress. Giving information such as jump height, peak power and force – as well as a range of ‘novel’ markers of athletic performance, fatigue and rehab progress such as flight time, contraction time, eccentric duration and asymmetries in the take-off and landing phases.

The platforms can also measure performance and asymmetries in static measures of maximum strength such as isometric mid-thigh pull and posterior chain tests.

ForceDecks recently launched the FDLite Force Platforms to complement the existing FDMax system. The FDLites use the same high-capacity load cells as the FDMaxs, maintaining the levels of accuracy and durability that are the hallmark of ForceDecks. However, they offer a significant reduction in size and weight over the FDMax, ideal for users who require a system for travel or for easy movement on and off boxes and around the gym for diverse lower and upper body isometric tests.

Hardware Specifications:

• Dimensions Per Plate – 485mm L x 350mm W x 65mm H
• Weight Per Plate - 9kg

Also available: Forcedecks FDMax

An optional aluminium surround is available to fit around the Platforms.
