Dan is such a great coach-educator! We had a 2-day sports science conference followed by a 2-day ASCA accreditation. How he's able to sustain his energy for the 4 days is beyond me!
The average column is being calculated wrong in the video. There is no way the average could be over 200 when all of your trials were around 130 (quick math at a glance). It may be dividing by the wrong number. Should be (131.75 + 130 + 128 + 134 + 131) / 5 (because you have 5 trials) = 130.95. Not 218. Honest mistake made in the sheets formula. Otherwise, great video.
I cant seem to find the spread sheet. great video guys :) was also going to point out the issue about the average but judging form the comments it seems to have been fixed
Hi sounds like a great book. What are the programs like at the back does it detail monthly training plans how to apply sprints with individual strength exercises aimed at developing sprints. Sounds luke a great book
It's for those but it is for coaches, it could help athletes, but a coach can really apply it to multiple athletes vs. only some things will apply to you as an individual athlete. I did not regret buying the book.
Hi Shazwan, Glad to see you watching the reviews as well :). That's a great idea, we'll have a look into the logistics, and if it's possible, we'll try to get them out soon!
great info - is there not a hold "hold" function on the unit to accurately know the max force produced? (instead of going back to look at the frames from the phone camera)
I JUST ordered this book amd it seems so intimidating with how wordy it is but I'm feeling more confident after your review amd skimming through it seeing that it's just a little bit more detail into information I've already picked up from other books such as conditioning for tennis and my PTA global certification
Hi Scott, We'd be more than happy to review the 4th edition as well. If you wish to, please feel free to email us at contact@scienceforsport.com and we can arrange it from there. Warm regards Owen Walker
@@mufc13aidan Most likely not, no. The reason being is if you don't use a firm surface (e.g. weight plate) to hold the straps down and simply try to with your feet, your feet will move and that will affect the data. You need a strong, immovable object to pull against to ensure no there is zero flex.
Great to hear, Erick :)! You're absolutely right and that's why Mike is in the video recording with an iPhone so that he can using the "scrubbing/slow-mo" feature to find the peak value. We didn't spend too much time scrubbing through the video to find the peak value, so it may well have been 144.05kg. But for the purpose of the educational video, we showed everything needed to empower coaches with the knowledge they need to do it for themselves :)
Many Android phones have a slow motion video option that records video at 120 or 240 frames per second. Using that recording option makes it easier to spot the maximum value
You're sure that a Crane Scale with maximum of 300kg is enough to test athlete ? Especially with IMTP , and similar, that can be execute at specific angles.
It won't be enough for all athletes, no. But it is enough for the largest majority of them. If you download our free crane scale how-to guide via the link below, you'll see some normative data. www.scienceforsport.com/how-to-test-an-athletes-max-strength-on-a-shoestring-budget/
I've downloaded the spreadsheet and can see what the problem is. In Column M you used =SUM(F7:J7)/3 which of course will only give the correct number if you have exactly 3 entries. Better use =AVERAGE(F7:J7) which will give the correct answer regardless of how many trials have been recorded.
Thought we'd also reply to this one. We updated to the =AVERAGE(F7:J7) formula. It obviously didn't get updated properly whilst we were building the spreadsheet.
