Load-velocity profiling assesses how a person's movement speed changes as load increases. Key training adaptations occur at specific velocities (for example, max power at ~50% velocity decrement), the profile tells the exact load needed to achieve that velocity and consequent adaptation for each individual. Use this relationship when programming to have individual athletes sprint, lift or jump at specific speeds to get the desired training adaptations.
- Graph: The graph shows speed on the y-axis and machine load on the x-axis. The line corresponds to the change in speed as the load changes.
- VDec Table: Calculates the velocity decrement in 10% intervals from max speed of the movement. Determine appropriate training load to meet the desired training speed of the movement based on training goals. Save to Profile allows this data to be easily used for training within the 1080 professional software.
value: This is a measurement of how well the line matches the actual measurements. A value of 1.0 means the line intersects all included measurements. A value below 0.9 is considered poor. Ideally values >.95 are expected with full effort repetitions. value: This is the theoretical max load for this exercise. Client is not expected to actually be able to use this load since the speed would be zero. This load is specific to the 1080 Motion motorized device.
