Measuring Speed The Tendo Unit
Have you ever wondered how you measure up to other athletes or lifters? Are you quick with light loads? What about heavy loads? How explosive are you when jumping or bounding? These are just a few very important questions that need to be addressed.
Let's look at a device that can do just that. It's the Tendo velocity measuring device. It measures the speed of a lift in meters per second or the actual wattage produced by an athlete. For sprinting you can determine the quickness of the athlete. Quickness is the ability to perform high-speed movements with no significant external resistance or great energy, meaning simply how fast one reacts to a stimulus. Some drills for sprinting would be one-leg bounding for either stride length or frequency or bounding over hurdles or box jumping or plyometrics. By attaching the Tendo unit to the athlete, the speed being developed can be measured. The Tendo unit can also measure the velocity with which one throws a medicine ball of different weights.

It highlights muscle power measurement products, including the Tendo Unit. The ABK PowerPODD is the next generation of velocity measurement. It's a wireless device that shoots reps/power/percentages onto a PDA/LCD screen while athletes lift. January 2008 is the set launch date. We'll keep our fingers crossed. |
