Decoding Force Plates: A Deep Dive into Biomechanics
Description
Krista Swip and Laura McDonald break down the science behind force plates, pressure mats, and the biomechanics that shape hitting performance. They discuss what these tools measure, how to interpret the data, and why understanding impulse, stability, and posture matters for athlete development.
Key ideas covered:
• Differences between force plates and pressure mats
• How ground reaction forces influence hitting
• Why more force into the ground is not always better
• The role of stability and posture in performance
• How to apply these metrics in coaching
