Are you struggling to measure barbell velocity accurately? Do you know which velocity measurement devices hold up in real-world scenarios? What’s the actual error margin you should expect from these tools? In this episode, we discuss the critical findings on device accuracy and explore practical applications for coaches looking to optimize their training methods.
Francesco Travascio, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor at the University of Miami, where he also serves as the director of the Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Lab. He leads research efforts at the Max Biedermann Institute for Biomechanics at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach. Dr. Travascio's expertise lies in orthopaedics, sports medicine, and biomechanics, and he actively competes as a Masters Olympic weightlifting athlete.
Enjoy!
