Film a set side on in slow motion and get the speed of every rep, velocity loss, training zones, a load-velocity profile and an estimated one-rep max. No linear transducer and no wearable sensor.
In shortCoach Velocity Lab is a velocity-based training tool in the Athleet.Ai coach editions. A coach films a squat set side on in slow motion, taps the centre of the plate, and the lab tracks the bar through every rep: speed, range of motion, power, velocity loss across the set and time under tension. Over several loads it builds the athlete's load-velocity profile, an estimated one-rep max, personal zones and a readiness check. The video stays on the coach's device.
The lowering, the bottom and the drive: mean and peak velocity, range of motion, time at the bottom, power and bar drift for each repetition.
How much the bar slows across the set, against the fastest rep, with a default cut-off of 20 per cent, so a set can stop before fatigue takes over.
General velocity zones from the first session, and personal zones once the athlete has a load-velocity profile, with how much of the set stayed in the zone prescribed.
Sets at three or more loads give the athlete's own load-velocity line and an estimated one-rep max, with a warning when the fit is weak or the loads are too close together.
Today's bar speed against the athlete's last five sets, flagged only when the drop is larger than the smallest change the lab can detect.
An estimated squat depth from the athlete's body position, and whether each rep kept to the prescribed tempo.
Film the set side on, two to four metres away, with the whole plate in view. Slow motion at 120 or 240 frames a second is best; clips at 60 frames a second are marked indicative, and anything slower is kept out of the athlete's trends.
Tap the centre of the plate. The lab fits the plate's rim to set the scale, then follows it frame by frame through the whole set.
The lab finds each rep's lowering, bottom and drive. The coach confirms them, and every number is worked out again on the server from the bar's path.
Velocity loss, zones, the load-velocity profile, estimated one-rep max, readiness and trends, saved to the athlete in My Athletes.

A velocity-based training tool in the Athleet.Ai coach editions. It measures bar speed for every rep from slow-motion phone video, with velocity loss, training zones, a load-velocity profile, an estimated one-rep max and a readiness check.
No. Coach Velocity Lab works from slow-motion video filmed on a phone. The lab tracks the weight plate and uses its size to set the scale.
Slow motion at 120 or 240 frames a second is best, for example an iPhone's Slo-mo, with the clip then uploaded. Clips at 60 frames a second are marked indicative. Anything below 60 frames a second is kept out of the athlete's trends.
Squats: high-bar and low-bar back squat, front squat and box squat.
From the athlete's load-velocity profile: sets at three or more loads give a line, and the estimated one-rep max is the load at the athlete's minimum velocity threshold, their own if it has been set, otherwise a standard value for men or women.
No. The video stays on the coach's device. Only the bar's path and the confirmed reps are saved, against the athlete's code from My Athletes, never their name.
It is in the coach tools of every Athleet.Ai edition: Track and Field, Football, Triathlon, Golf, Skating, Padel, Basketball and American Football.
