Drop & Side Jump Analysis with 3D Deltas and K-Apture - Kinvent Tutorials

Описание: In this tutorial, learn how to analyze drop and side jumps using 3D Deltas force plates and the K-Apture feature to assess lateral explosiveness, asymmetries, and landing mechanics.

This test is particularly useful for evaluating change-of-direction performance and injury risk factors, combining force plate metrics with 3D kinematic analysis.

📸 By synchronizing the K-Apture feature and 3D Deltas force plates, professionals can capture both performance metrics and movement technique during complex lateral movements.

During the Drop & Side Jump test, several important metrics are evaluated:
• Exit velocity – measures lateral power and performance
• Lateral Reactive Strength Index (RSI) – indicates explosiveness
• Contact time – shows how quickly force is produced
• Left–right asymmetry – helps identify potential injury risks.

These metrics provide a deeper understanding of athletic performance and neuromuscular efficiency.

👉 Test Protocol
In this example, the athlete performs a drop and lateral jump from the force plates, pushing off one leg to move laterally.
The test is performed on both sides to compare performance.

Results show a significant asymmetry in exit velocity between left and right sides, highlighting a difference in lateral power production.

💡 This type of analysis helps practitioners quickly identify imbalances that may affect performance or increase injury risk.
