COMO FUNCIONA?

The SmartCoach™ system is composed by:

* the Power Encoder sensor (wire encoder)
* the SmartCoach™ software

The sensor (below) is a small box (10 cm side) equipped with a spring-loaded wire. The wire is hooked to any weight stack machine or free weight, and measures the vertical lifting speed during exercise.

An additional input allows connecting the sensor to YoYo Technology™ machines to measure the power and eccentric overload developed during training. The sensor connects to the computer through an USB cable.

The software is where the training program can be designed, monitored and analyzed. It features an editor to design the training schedule with the desired exercises. Read how to plan a training program here !

During exercise, the sensor measures the power developed, which is displayed on the screen. A visual and vocal feedback (see here ) guides the athlete in achieving the prescribed power level.

Once the training session is over,  SmartCoach™ automatically analyzes the data. The training progress can be immediately evaluated on user-friendly graphs which show the increase in power, energy expenditure and load. It is also possible to print a summary progress report. Want to know more? Read here !
