OVR Force Metrics

Jump Mode

CMJ, drop jump, RSI hops, and more
Jump Height
cm · in

How high your center of mass rises from a flat standing position. Measured from takeoff velocity, with a flight-time fallback when needed. Includes plantar flexion.

mRSI
index

Jump height divided by time to takeoff. A single read on countermovement-jump efficiency.

Time to Takeoff
ms

Duration from your first dip to your feet leaving the plate. Shorter means a faster jump strategy.

Countermovement Depth
cm · in

How far you drop into the countermovement. It describes the athlete's jump strategy.

Bodyweight
lb · kg

Your detected body weight prior to the jump. The value behind other relative metrics.

RSI
index

Jump height divided by ground contact time. The reactive-strength headline for drop jumps and repeated hops.

Peak Braking Force
N · lb · kg

The most force you produce decelerating the countermovement, as you reverse from dropping to pushing.

Peak Braking RFD
N/s

How fast you produce force in the braking phase. Higher means more elastic energy returned.

Braking Asymmetry
%

Left-to-right asymmetry in the braking phase. The period that catches limb deficits earliest.

Peak Propulsive Force
N · lb · kg

The most force you apply during the propulsive phase. Your raw force ceiling in the jump.

Propulsive Impulse
N·s

Force applied across the whole propulsive phase. The strongest mechanical predictor of jump height.

Propulsive Asymmetry
%

Left-to-right asymmetry in the propulsive phase. Less telling than braking asymmetry for jump asymmetries.

Contact Time
ms

How long your feet contact the ground in a drop jump or hop. Shorter contact at the same height means more reactive strength.

Takeoff Velocity
m/s

How fast your center of mass is moving as your feet leave the plate. A direct input to jump height.

Relative Braking Force
×BW

Peak braking force as a multiple of bodyweight. Normalizes deceleration force across athlete sizes.

Force at 0 Velocity
N · lb · kg

Force at the very bottom of the dip, where you stop dropping and start moving upwards.

Peak Propulsive Power
W

The highest power output during the propulsive phase in watts.

Relative Propulsive Force
×BW

Peak propulsive force as a multiple of bodyweight. Normalizes propulsive force across athlete sizes.

Relative Propulsive Power
W/kg

Propulsive power per kilogram of bodyweight. The standard way to compare power across athletes.

Peak Landing Force
N · lb · kg

The highest force at landing impact. Higher means more impact loading on landing.

Landing Asymmetry
%

Left-to-right asymmetry at landing.

Force Mode

Mid-thigh pull, isometric squat, calf iso
Net Peak Force
N · lb · kg

The most force you produce above bodyweight. The most reliable number in maximal-strength testing.

Net Avg Force
N · lb · kg

Average net force across the rep. Useful for sustained-effort tests.

Gross Peak Force
N · lb · kg

Peak total force, including bodyweight. Used for Dynamic Strength Index math.

Gross Avg Force
N · lb · kg

Average total force across the rep, including bodyweight.

Relative Peak Force
×BW

Peak force per kilo of bodyweight. A stronger performance predictor that normalizes across different athlete sizes.

Peak RFD
N/s

The fastest force production over any 50 ms of the effort. How quickly you can create force.

Force @100ms
N · lb · kg

Force produced 100 ms after onset.

Force @200ms
N · lb · kg

Force produced 200 ms after onset.

Asymmetry
%

Left-to-right force asymmetry during the rep, shown with direction. Dual plates only.

Time to Peak Force
ms

How long it takes to reach peak force. Flags whether you are force-limited or slow to express strength.

Total Time
s

How long the rep lasts.

Impulse
N·s

Net force multiplied by time across the whole rep. The total force-time work.

Bodyweight
lb · kg

Your detected weight at the moment of the rep. The value behind relative metrics.

Free Mode

Shoulder IR/ER, glute bridge, hamstring isometrics
Peak Force
N · lb · kg

The peak force in the rep. The universal headline for any single-joint isometric test.

Average Force
N · lb · kg

Average force across the rep.

Peak RFD
N/s

The fastest rate of force production during the rep.

Force @100ms
N · lb · kg

Force produced 100 ms after onset.

Force @200ms
N · lb · kg

Force produced 200 ms after onset.

Asymmetry
%

Left-to-right force asymmetry during the rep, shown with direction. Dual plates only.

Time to Peak
ms

How long to reach your peak force.

Total Time
s

How long the rep lasts.

Impulse
N·s

Force multiplied by time across the whole rep. The total force-time work.
