Introducing the Velocity Sequence, enhanced VBT

July 02, 2024

Nothing beats a visual, that's why this short is right up top and the best way to share the compelling MFX feature called the Velocity Sequence. Take a look at these two Squat Jump reps, along with the MFX-Sport app display. Below the video we will explain our class-leading enhanced velocity-based training (VBT) instant metrics.

The monitoring assessment is straight forward and widely used, a 95 LBS Squat Jump. The lower load (at least for this for this Stanford football linebacker) is ideal because it allows a higher velocity (speed) expression of movement performance while overcoming a lite amount of external resistance.

The MoveFactorX (MFX) sensor module is attached to the barbell and acquires the acceleration data, which is then transmitted to the iPad and the MFX-Sport app for the near real-time information. By the time the athlete has landed from the jump, the values are displayed, that's instant rep-by-rep performance feedback!

The MFX-Sport app is displaying:

Peak Velocity, the point where the max velocity occurs (just prior to take-off)
InversePOP-100V (eccentric RFD), the velocity mark of 100 milliseconds (0.1 sec) before the end of the eccentric phase.
POP-100V (concentric phase RFD), the velocity hit at the 100 millisecond (0.1 sec) mark of the concentric phase.
Velocity Sequence (graphing the full repetition) visually paints the picture how the athlete moves through the full range of motion.

The Velocity Sequence concept is the modernization of movement performance feedback for barbell and body weight tracking and will replace some traditional VBT metrics.
