Reference Data and Education Guide

Many resources exist in scientific literature with supporters and critics of using force velocity profiling for vertical and horizontal movements including Sprinting. 1080 Motion is committed to providing practitioners options for profiling that can be calculated using the speed, force, and time variables recorded by 1080 Motion equipment. FVP is one option to profile with the 1080 Motion Sprint.

Webinars using 1080 Sprint regarding this topic are available at 1080motion.com -> Learn section.

Helpful reference data does exist in the scientific literature and presented below. 1080 Motion does not provide a normative data set within the user interface.

Please note this may not be an exhaustive list of literature.
