How It Works

Calculate Explosive Strength Deficit (ESD) from maximal isometric force and peak RFD. Identify whether strength or rate of force development is the performance-limiting factor

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Maximal isometric force — The maximal isometric force recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Peak RFD — The peak rfd recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the explosive strength deficit result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the maximal isometric force, peak RFD for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate Explosive Strength Deficit (ESD) from maximal isometric force and peak RFD. Identify whether strength or rate of force development is the performance-limiting factor. Use the explosive strength deficit result to inform your calculation.
