SmartSpeed Force Velocity Profiling (FVP)

Force Velocity Profiling (FVP) is a method of testing used to assess an athlete’s force (strength) and velocity (speed) production capabilities. Coaches can use the SmartSpeed timing gate system to conduct testing of both sprint and jump FVP tests.

FVP enables strength and conditioning coaches to tailor their athlete’s program using detailed, objective data provided in the SmartSpeed app and SmartSpeed Online.

SmartSpeed FVP sprint testing requires at least 4 timing gates set out over 40 metres or 40 yards, inputting the height, weight of the athlete, and environmental conditions into the SmartSpeed app.

SmartSpeed FVP jump testing requires a timing unit connected to a portable jump mat, inputting the height and the weight of the athlete, and environmental conditions into the SmartSpeed app.

Results are displayed in the SmartSpeed app and available in SmartSpeed Online.
