Assessment and Evaluation of Force–Velocity Variables in Flywheel Squats: Validity and Reliability of Force Plates, a Linear Encoder Sensor, and a Rotary Encoder Sensor

Research into flywheel (FW) resistance training and force–velocity–power (<i>F</i>–<i>v</i>–<i>P</i>) profiling has recently gained attention. Ground reaction force (<i>GRF</i>) and velocity (<i>v</i>) during FW squats can be predicted from...

description Research into flywheel (FW) resistance training and force–velocity–power (<i>F</i>–<i>v</i>–<i>P</i>) profiling has recently gained attention. Ground reaction force (<i>GRF</i>) and velocity (<i>v</i>) during FW squats can be predicted from shaft rotational data. Our study aimed to compare the inter-set reliability of <i>GRF</i>, <i>v</i>, and <i>F</i>–<i>v</i>–<i>P</i> relationship output variables calculated from force plates and linear encoder (presumed gold-standard) and rotary encoder data. Fifty participants performed two sets of FW squats at four inertias.

Good to excellent reliability was found for <i>GRF</i> and <i>v</i> (ICC > 0.85), regardless of the measure and the variable type.
