Applying Force Plates in Your Small Business (And What You Can Do if You Can’t Afford Them, Yet)
by Damian Pinheiro

This presentation is targeted to small gym owners who are looking to provide big league assessment and progress tracking systems in their facility. Attendees will learn how DMPFIT uses Hawkin Dynamic force plates in our sports performance and adult group training programs. This includes lower-body power profiling and progress tracking (CMJ & Rebound CMJ), provide immediate feedback to drive intent (overcoming isometrics, drop landings and center of pressure) and return to sport standards (left/right symmetry). We will also discuss potential low cost alternatives for gyms that have tighter budgets.
