Sports and performance diagnostics

In sports, winning performances can only be achieved through continuously improved methods of highly controlled training. By analyzing the forces that athletes generate at various points, it is possible not only to draw conclusions relating to performance at a particular moment but also to record differences in the efficiency of various techniques and to modify the training program accordingly.

Versatility means flexibility of application
The high preload and linearity of their piezoelectric sensors allow Kistler force plates to measure very accurately even under high initial loads.

They can therefore be installed in any position and equipped with additional equipment or coverings without their precision or zero point being affected.
The high natural frequency, extremely wide usable measuring range and high load capacity of the plates make it possible to capture even highly dynamic processes in the martial arts, Olympic lifting or athletics.

Measuring take-off power during natural movement
Kistler force plates provide an ideal instrument for objective measurement of take-off forces in performance diagnostics and biomechanics.

Quattro Jump is a complete mobile analysis system for testing the performance level of the legs in relation to power, coordination and stamina. In contrast to isokinetic systems or other jump tests the athlete moves completely naturally in a way that reflects his or her condition and coordination. Multiple jumps can be analyzed just as effectively as single jumps in order to provide objective, reliable and repeatable measurement results.
