Perform Better with FieldPower

FieldPower training makes you more explosive and faster, and you perform better.
To prove this, we conducted a test: repeated vertical jumps before and after a series of jumps with added resistance.

A repeated countermovement jump (CMJ) test involves performing multiple CMJs to assess an athlete’s performance and injury risk. Improvements are highly correlated with many performance abilities, like starting speed, sprint speed, agility, and the risk of injuries (for example ACL injuries).

FieldPower versus Weight Vest
When many people think of hypergravity training, they think of training with a weighted vest. While training with a weighted vest can be effective, actual FieldPower hypergravity training has uniquely different effects. The results are shown in the table.

FieldPower jumps increase RSI with 30%, 10 times more than jumps with a weighted vest (3%). RSI stands for Reactive Strength Index and represents jump height divided by contact time. After jump training with FieldPower, contact time decreases by 12% (weighted vest 3%), while jump height increases by 14% (weighted vest 0%). In short, after a FieldPower training you will jump faster and higher. In absolute terms, the best jump height after FieldPower increased from 28.6 cm to 33.2 cm, while with the weighted vest it increased to 29.9 cm.

Special attention is paid to the ratio of eccentric to concentric strength. This increases 6% after FieldPower (0% after the weighted vest). A significant portion of the performance gain lies in the increased eccentric strength. This means that stability and agility are improved after FieldPower training. FieldPower not only improves your performance, it also changes the way you move!
