What is a force-velocity profile?

The F-V profile plots maximum force against maximum velocity and describes the individual position on the force-velocity continuum. It reveals whether an athlete has a strength deficit or speed deficit.

How is the F-V profile measured?

Perform multiple loaded sprints or jumps across a range of loads. Measure peak velocity at each load, then fit a linear regression to get F0 and V0 intercepts.

How do I use the F-V profile for training?

Athletes with a force deficit should prioritize heavy strength training. Athletes with a velocity deficit should prioritize light, fast training.

How It Works

Calculate F0 (maximum force) and V0 (maximum velocity) from multiple load-velocity measurements to identify your strength or speed deficit

Each component has a specific meaning:

Multiple load-velocity measurements — The multiple load-velocity measurements recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the f-v profile result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the multiple load-velocity measurements for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate F0 (maximum force) and V0 (maximum velocity) from multiple load-velocity measurements to identify your strength or speed deficit. Use the f-v profile result to inform your calculation.
