Reliability Study Published

Naruhiro "Geish" Hori and Warren Andrews from WAIS has recently published a paper on the reliability of countermovement jump. The paper is titled "RELIABILITY OF VELOCITY, FORCE AND POWER OBTAINED FROM THE GYMAWARE OPTICAL ENCODER DURING COUNTERMOVEMENT JUMP WITH AND WITHOUT EXTERNAL LOADS." It can be read by logging in online at the Journal of Australian Strength and Conditioning Association (JASCA)

Abstract:

"The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability of peak velocity, force and power obtained from a GymAware optical encoder (Kinetics, Canberra, ACT) during the countermovement jump (CMJ) under three different external load conditions: wooden pole (0.7 kg), weightlifting bar (20 kg) and Smith machine bar (24.5 kg)."
