Force Plate Assessment · London
Force & Power Profile
Force plate assessment of force–time characteristics
How you produce force when the time to produce it is limited — braking, propulsion, impulse, velocity, power and each limb’s contribution. One hour on the Hawkin Dynamics plates, with a written report.
On the day
How it works.
01
Brief intake
Your sport, its demands, training history and goals. The same force–time curve means different things for a 10km runner and a sprinter, so the context comes before the data.
02
Force plate protocols
Selected for you from countermovement jumps, reactive and repeated jumps, drop jumps and isometric holds on the Hawkin Dynamics plates. Results are on screen as you go.
03
Results and report
What you produced, how long you had to produce it, and the strategy you used to get there — then what that means for your training.
Equipment
Hawkin Dynamics Force Plates
Wireless dual-plate system sampling at 1000Hz — 1,000 data points per second. Used by professional sports clubs and national team programmes. The same standard used by elite testing centres worldwide.

What we measure.
Five outputs from the force plate protocols. Each is described once: what is captured, and what it changes about training.
01Braking and the transition into propulsionHow you absorb force, and how quickly you turn it around.
How we measure it
Countermovement depth and duration, braking force and impulse, and the time taken to move from absorbing force into producing it.
Why it matters
Two athletes can jump the same height by entirely different routes — one by sinking deep and taking their time, one by reversing quickly from a shallow position. Which route you take is what determines whether the strategy suits your sport.
02Force, impulse and timeNot just how much force, but how long you needed to build it.
How we measure it
Peak and mean force, impulse, time to take-off and rate of force development, absolute and relative to body weight.
Why it matters
Force with unlimited time is a different quality from force under a time constraint. A sport with short ground contacts rewards the second, and a high peak force reached slowly may not reach the ground before the contact is over.
03Velocity and powerHow well force is converted into movement.
How we measure it
Peak and mean velocity, peak power, and reactive strength where the protocol includes repeated or drop jumps.
Why it matters
Shows where the current limit sits — in producing force, or in expressing it fast enough to matter — which is what decides whether the next block leans towards strength or towards speed.
04What each limb contributedSide-to-side contribution, phase by phase.
How we measure it
Each limb’s share of braking and propulsion across the protocols, rather than a single whole-test figure.
Why it matters
A difference is a finding, not a fault. Reviews of the published work find left-right differences in strength are the ones most often linked to reduced jumping and cycling performance, while results for other qualities are mixed — so context, consistency across protocols and change over time are what make a number mean anything.
05Your reportThe numbers, the strategy behind them, and what follows.
How we measure it
Every metric above with your force–time curves, read against your sport and your goals.
Why it matters
Results are on screen during the session; the written report follows. A strategy is never called efficient or inefficient without saying what it is being judged against.

Who this is for
- Athletes in sports decided by how quickly force can be produced, not only how much
- Anyone who wants their force–time profile measured rather than inferred from the weight room
- Athletes tracking how a strength or plyometric block has actually landed
- Anyone wanting an objective baseline before committing to a fuller assessment
- Team-sport athletes comparing braking and propulsion across limbs
Who it isn't for
- Anyone wanting to establish their movement strategy — that is the Movement Strategy Analysis, and this assessment does not replace it
- Anyone looking for a training programme rather than measurement and direction
- Anyone seeking a clinical opinion; this is a performance assessment and does not diagnose injury
